You could pick up a early 1.4 TDI Fabia/TDCi Fiesta they will probaly have high ish miles though but with FSH shouldn't be a problem.
Urgh, SDI.
Don't go for a VW unless you only want a badge. As has been said skoda (or SEAT) will offer you the same car with a different badge for less cash (or newer for the same cash).
Well, it would'nt have been my choice I grant you that, but the fact remains, it was cheap to buy, cost nothing to run bar routine servicing, and was more than happy doing Stoke to North Yorkshire & back every day for 8 months.
The build quality was superb and it looked & drove like a 50k miler.
If I were in the market for a small diesel, I'd happily have one, I borrowed hers for a week when she was away and was impressed - when you consider I drive a 7 Series, I think that says a lot for the little VW.
And it happily cruised @ 85mph on my private airfield.......

Not sure what exactly you are after but I'd say a 306, Focus or a MK2 Punto. 
I'm not debating the build quality, or the fact that as a whole they are a decent car.
What I am however debating is that a) you can get essentially the same car from other VAG partners so long as you aren't badge obsessed, and you WILL get a better deal, no debating, it WILL be better VFM. b) The SDI engine is crud, simple. A TDi sure, that would be worth owning, but an SDI, no, just forget it.
