What kind of size you looking at?
Small hatch, small family or large family car?

You won't even get a golf sdi(1.9 non turbo, over 20s 0-60) for £3k so it's a shit suggestion. the mk3 tdi is shockingly slow, old, ugly, useless around corners and a depressing car to drive.
You will get a 306 hdi for £3k, in fact you'll get the 3 door sport with basically gti6 suspension, interior etc which will be a fun car to drive, be comfy, nice looking and cheap as chips to run.
