They are quite quick, but not amazing on fuel for a diesel

If you're spending 15k you should be able to find either

an Audi A4 or A6

with

Quattro
V6 TDi engine
Leather
6 speed box or tiptronic

And chip it to a very safe 190bhp and 290 lb/ft torque
I averaged 35.5mpg in 45000 very hard driven miles, with a best
mpg of 48.3 during the fuel crisis, and 26.9 at a track day !
