What Decent diesel car for 7.5K
New car time i reckon
Needs to be decent size A3, A4, 3 Series sized
Needs to be diesel
Looked at
BMW320d Sport
Saab Vector Sport
Alfa 159 Lusso
AUDI A3
AUDI A4
Decided the A3's just look too boring
Needs to be reliable and fairly comfy, will d0 3k month

I've heard the merc's are great on fuel and driven sensibly so are the bmw's so if i was looking for a car those above would be high on my list

Volvo S60/V70 D5 - 185bhp standard, most comfortable seats out there, excellent build quality, safety & reliability. Easily remapped to 226bhp.

Quick enough, easy to get 50+ mpg without driving like an old codger, and you can thrash the nads off it and still see 30mpg.
