If it really must be a Diesel I'd still be looking German, although I'm really not sure why a 320d would be any more to insure than an ST? I'm sure there'd be nothing in it if you shopped around. If not then any A3 or A4 diesel would be a solid choice.

Or a friend has just bought an Alfa GT JTD and that's a great car. Italian fragility would put some off, but it's a pretty rugged Vauxhall engine in the diesels.
