VAG tbh if you want a diesel.

Although the DCI renaults are a lot better than th eold diesel lumps, citroen/pug HDi'sare also very good.

More liekyl to get a ren of some sort for a better price than the others though.

bora tdi, golf tdi is to dear, passat tdi (i'd pick the bora over it), audis are to expensive for what they are tbh.

307 HDI is a decent drive, the 206 isn't. Not tried any other of the new pugs except those 2.

Clio DCI I imagine is to small for you but its a good engiern in a clio body, the megane dci (same engine) has a far better interior much nicer place to be and I managed 120 out of it and still got 40+mpg, I was well impressed new shape with the fat arse btw.

Not driven new shape laguna yet.
