As much as I love the clubman, I've come to the  conclusion, I'd be an idiot if I didn't go Derv. Hence it's one reason the GTI is going for sale!!

Lovely motor, but I'm only looking to spend £4.5/£5k. As I need to free  a few K against the value of the GTI

Diesel Focus is not a bad option  :happy2:

I had an 08 plate for a year as a company car, clocked up 51k miles in that year  :star:

1.8tdci has plenty of grunt, handles well and will do 65+mpg if your steady with it. IIRC Richard Hammond drove the Mk5 golf, the focus and the Astra and LOVED the way the focus drives above all the others. The facelift (08 on look better too).

My 2p's worth
