Work commute\Weekend family car

Sgt Pepper 64

Ok, so my Mondeo has gone to that great scrap dealer in the sky
Have approx. 3-4k to spend on its replacement.

I commute 50 miles a day, 5 days a week, so I'm thinking I still need a diesel.

Ideally looking for a 2004 up, 4 door, 100k max, 2ltr or under

Currently looking at Saabs 9-3, Volvo S60, the usual Passat\Audi\BMW

Bored with Ford, don't like French cars, even looking at skoda Octavia.

Really want a small but roomy car!

Small but roomy? May I suggest a tardis?

But seriously, I've had a vw Jetta for 2 and a half years. It's the 105hp TDI. Very economical and can move when you need it!

Plenty of room front and back too. They're not for every one (bit bland) but test drive one at least

Thanks, just the blandness puts me off, I'll be doing 12k a year so I want something to put a smile on my face.
Any other suggestions?
