new car help
im looking at getting a new car for work which will be used for 70ish motorways miles per day. for this reason it will obviously have to be good on fuel perferably diesel, also it must be comfy, have aircon and elec windows.
my budget is 4k, any car considered although as said the main thing is that it must be good on fuel.
having trouble finding any i like within my budget and what im after so any help/recommendations would be great
thanks

i sold it mate, i got it how i wanted it and was good for about 4 months untill it needed 2 wheel bearings and a new clucth, plus it was spluttering and misfiring all over the place so it was sold a couple of months ago, my mates seen it about blackpool though, apparently fully stripped out with 2 buckets now
