Car Buying Advice - 11k budget

The Pro Ceed is a lovely car IMO. I've always heard the 1.6 Diesel in them is a great engine too. And if you bought a 08 one you'd have fairly cheap tax and a few years left on the warrenty.

It'd be my choice out of the ones mentioned so far anyway

My sisters boyfriend has one, it's an 09 that does 95% town driving and has never had a dpf issue which is suprising. Also it pulls really well and doesn't sound like a bag of spanners compared to a VAG CR engine...
