### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product but not flawless
*by A***T on 1 October 2025*

I use the Carista Evo regularly to monitor DPF Regens which occur every 200 - 250 miles. Carista enables me to tailor my journey to ensure completion of the process. The downsides - some issues with connection, resulting in frustration, but after some unplugging and rebooting it comes back online. Also had a couple of occurrences where it won’t clear a fault, but reassuring to be able to diagnose any issues. I have not embarked on the customisation features. Overall, a good product and worthwhile purchase, though subscription is expensive.
