Right my daily commute consists of 50 miles. Most of this is driven on motorways or NSL roads so its very rare to be doing any less than 60 - 70mph. I'm after a car that has good mpg but still has a bit of go in it. Probably looking at diesels. Budget of around 2.5K
What you suggest??

 

A mid sized hatch/saloon with a 4 pot should fit the bill. The choice is pretty good, even with a relatively low budget. Depending on your priorities, the Jap stuff is the most reliable [Toyota Avensis], the Germans are the most frugal [Passat/Golf] and the left field lot are the most interesting [Alfa 156 < my choice ]

Yeah have been having a look at the VW range. Was thinking TDi golf estate. Can even pick up 6 speeders in my budget!!
Any other suggestions/experiences??
