Looking to get a new car in the next few months, but I might be changing jobs, if I do it will mean an 80 mile round trip per day.
Anyone reccomend a fairly fast diesel? Would love a 150 CDTI astra, but out of my price range

with another £500 in your budget you may be able to find similar with less miles

You may get a Vectra CDTi for that money.

i would go for the golf personally, very good mpg, very quick with a remap (but still keep the mpg), very good build quality
ideal tbh

I'v gone from a corsa to a golf, all the parts are genuine anniversary parts including full interior. no bbs's and no 150 engine or brakes or springs.
Paid 4k, which i seem as a good buy seeing as a standard 130 good condition is worth 3900
Not as impressed as i thought i would have been.
Expensive to maintain

Thats a great idea if I decide to stay with a bigger car, as I love boras 
All depends if I get a new job, if I stay in this job considering a new Ibiza Boncanegra on finance
