Get a Seat Leon then instead? Or another of the cheaper uglier versions of the same car from the VAG group.

Leon TDI Cupra's still command a high price.

What about a Bavarian beast?

Focus TDCi?

After chatting to my mate, he does suffer from back ache in his 08 plate Fiesta when driving for a long period.

What MPG am I looking at on a Mondeo ST TDCi? Any owners on here?

what about a zetec-s tdci 130?

sportier looking than a standard lx/zetec, if thats your thing.

Though, doing the miles you will be I would be seriously considering a Ghia X.

It might just be Ford seats, the ones in the Focus Zetec (07) are horrible.

The Ford Ka, also gives me backache.

The Fiesta I thought was better though, I think it depends on trim level, so try a few.

The insurance on the ST tdci is quite high which is not the best.
