Ford and Vauxhall diesels are dog turd. Best bet would be 306/Xsara hdi as they're modern-ish, not too heavy and also handle.

96-on passat for me my dad had one and it was brilliant. The 110s are pretty quick and when we chipped his it was lots faster. They're comfy as ****, mint stereo, 55mpg on the motorway.
