Looking for a good diesel automatic...

Looking for a diesel automatic for a daily commute on the N7/M50. Approx. 30k-35k km's per year. Budget €8 - €10k. I may emigrate in 24 months so PCP and large spend do not suit for term and depreciation reasons. Looking for low running costs, reliability and decent resale. Any suggestions?

Our answer:

Hi Craig,

I think your best bet is a Volkswagen Passat. I can't find any Toyota Avensis diesel autos in your budget at the moment but the Passat is comfortable, reliable, frugal and you shouldn't have any trouble selling it on again.
