Mazda 6 2016: Diesel particulate filter problems?

Although we mainly do short trips, I am keen to buy a new Mazda 6 GT 2.2 diesel for its torque in Tassie's hilly terrain. Can I do so with full confidence that Mazda have fixed this engine's serious diesel particulate filter problems?

I couldn't say with any confidence that the problem has been sorted and I would be reluctant to recommend the car to you given that you travel short distances. I have asked Mazda to comment and will get back to you once that response has been received.
