If it'd VAG, I'd go Skoda or Seat - much more car for your money. I also think the Astra CDTI 150 is decent, but they drop in value massively.

Whatever you do make sure it's got the 1.9 16v unit, fucking hate the 1.7 we have in work, think its only the shit slow version really unrefined

Mind you most stuff I can find on autotrader for less than £200 is actually just mispriced
