Can anyone recommend a reasonably interesting car for commuting. Not sure my Audi 80 will be up to it.

50 miles twice per week. Maybe more.

I’ve probably got £3-4K to spend.

motorway driving isn't interesting, in my experience, at least not in the sort of cars i've owned or driven.

maybe just cos i'm old and boring but priorities for me for that kind of use are comfortable seats / driving position, not too much road / wind noise at motorway speeds, decent stereo, adaptive cruise control as a bonus.

for the budget you suggest i'd be looking at a Mondeo or Octavia.

You’re right. Comfy seat and safe are my top priority closely followed by fuel economy.

My thinking is diesel will be more economical but at the same time diesel will become very expensive to run/maintain.

My main concern is wearing the 80 out. Or it needing a lot of work to keep it going.
