I'm looking to replace my current daily driver (1.2 clio) for something a bit bigger and more motorway friendly. I know 4k won't buy me much but would prefer a diesel (or a petrol I can easily get 40mpg+ out of).

I don't really have any special requirements other than that it must be reliable, a good looking car would be a plus and lots of interior toys would be nice.

Any suggestions? I really haven't paid attention to anything diesels ever before lol

A million diesel VAG cars avaiable at that price , I have a chipped Audi A6 2.5 quattro diesel at the moment and love it except the Mrs always nicks it and I have to drive the Landrover or one of my vans.

You can also get a surprisingly late plate honda accord diesel for that money with leather and sat nav.

LPG scoobs arent far off diesel economys, and a loads nicer place to sit than any sh1tty little eurobox. :-)

How about a CLK 320 Mercedes, they go for silly money at the moment. Recently bought a 2001 version with AMG sports pack, 74k miles, FSH and less than £3k. All the toys you can think of (and some you maybe can't!), 30mpg on the motorway, will cruise all day at 90+, 210bhp and sub 8 sec 0-60 so plenty fast enough. The diesel version is more frugal and either is a lot less to insure than the Scoob. Pistonheads and Auto Trader has loads of them

Diesel Rover 75 which is basicly a bmw 5 series, you can get a fully loaded one for 2.5k on a 54 plate 40+ around town and 50's on mway, can be chipped/mapped to silly power too.
