So I have been made redundant and have to hand the company car back... well maybe, I could also buy it.

No idea what to get.

Budget £10k. Car must be suitable for a family of 5.

Diesel is a must. Obviously want as new and low mileage as possible.

On searching, loads of Lancers seem to fit the bill but I know nothing about them - Why are they so cheap? Also loads of Insignia's. I used to have a Vectra - not sure how much the insignia advanced on from the old Veccy?

My other option is to buy the company car, but its a bit small - 2012 BMW 116ES with 60k on the clock. It's a nice car, but doesn't have any toys and despite only being two years old I have hammered the miles on it. Been quoted £10,500 for it by the lease company.

Any recommendations? I drive mainly motorway, so comfort is a must

Yeah it is the new shape. I don't have a new job sorted yet no, but odds are I will have to look for a different job that doesn't come with a car this time.
 
"Funny" budget how?

The budget isn't an issue - I will get a decent lump sum pay out and a car is essential if I'm working or not due to my circumstances.

I've seen a few 60/61 plate mondeo titanium X's within budget - seems like a decent car?
