• My partner is learning to drive but doesn't really like the Mercedes. I'm loth to give it up but it might be better to get something a bit more fuel efficient and less bulky.

    What's the least soul-destroying sensible hatchback for around £2-3k? I've had a look and a ten year old Golf GT TDI with 80k or so miles should be within budget.

    Any other suggestions? I was leaning towards turbo diesels for a bit more fun plus fuel economy, but I could be persuaded otherwise.

    Thoughts?
