I got all my clothes, 24inch screen, ps3, desktop pc and everything else in my k11 micra to come uni, they got plenty of room you just have to play tetris a bit getting stuf in

306 or ZX turbo diesel... this IS the best diesel you can get for that money.

Get an auto, for that budget either a volvo or a ricemobile. Some will be 3 speeds so not the smoothest but pretty reliable

Given my girlfriends experience of your 170k £350 Mondeo, I cannot honestly reccomend anything other than a high mileage Mondeo!

Cars still going strong mate - MOT due soon - fingers crossed!
