£10k 50mpg drivers car?
Discussion
Another dull 'what car?' thread, sorry. To be fair, it's my first.
Needs to be daily useable but does not need more than two seats, necessarily (i.e. Audi TT diesel but those are too pricey still). I'm 6-4 though so nothing too little. Coupe, hatch, whatever so long as it's got some entertainment factor. I'm guessing it'll be a diesel at that price/economy point but would love alternative petrol suggestions if they exist.
Thanks folks.

things like that
you'll strugle to get 50mpg from anything other than a 4 pot diesel
4 cylinder reliability is bad compared to 6 cylinder. M57 engined BMW's are very solid engines, N47 is not at all. Neither is the N57 engines as they had tensioner issues and that would be an engine out job due to the chain of the engine moving to the back of the engine and not the front. alpina D3

Now that I think of it, 325d e92 would be good, or 330d/335d.
There are a few options most will be diesel very few will be a driver's car but there's one that stands head & shoulders above the rest is the Alpina D3.

Thanks folks. Interesting suggestions. The TT diesels are cheaper than I thought as well...
given your history i wouldn't describe an audi diesel as a driver's car. for more feel i'd look towards a warm hatch (suzuki) that gives good mpg along with more feel to the steering, brakes and chassis. a used MX5 ND 1.5 would be ideal.macky17 said:

Fiesta st? I've got one and it'll do 55 mpg on a run if you're steady.
Seriously? That surprises me. You mean the newest one? CivBrum said:
