Car that is nippyish ,diesel, economic and fits drums

[Johnosurfbeatz]

Sorry for the brief title. Basically I do alot of motorway miles. Im looking for a diesel car that has god mileage, looking around the £2000 £2500 mark, that can hold my drums. Bare in mind my Mitsubishi colt (1999 and 165000 miles and broken down once, bless it) can fit my kit. A polo can not. I looked at golfs, they seem to be the best with the 55 mpg.

Open to any other suggestions. My problem with the Colt was pulling out on motorways. It was only a 1.4 mind.

Throw your ideas my way. Thanks guys
