the new passats look good to me.
possibly too newly released to fit in your price range.

my old mans just ordered a mondeo st tdci. will be here within 12 weeks so wont be able to let you know what its like til then.
but it supposedly pulls like a train and is quicker than his current saab 9-3 (2.0T) through the mid range
and should return about 45MPG easily
you can pick nearly new up for a good price too cos as already stated they depreciate quite quickly

list's of parts that go wrong,...
rear suspension arms.
rear shockers.
rear anti-roll bar links.
radiator mounts.
egr valves.
inlet manifolds.
re-call on exhausts.
temp sensors.
abs buggering up.
rear tyres lasting only 2000miles.

My Dad has one & does a lot of miles in his. I've driven it & was quite suprised with how nice they are to drive, it did take me a little while to get used to the indicator system though.

Thats what I would have money allowing...
suprisingly more expensive than the equivelent cupra
