Right this might seem like strange thread but im looking to see what cars people think are very good value for money and when you have paid for them it seems like every last penny was worth it.
If you had 5k to play with and wanted something newer than a corsa has to be around a 05/55 plate or higher.
Fully loaded i.e leather,electric mirrors,windows etc etc.
Either petrol or diesel, must be at least 150BHP and do 50Mpg average.
low tax band!
Reason im asking this just general chat really as ive asked a few mates and had various responses

Fiesta Zetec S TDCi.
£35 to tax year, great mpg.
Not sure their bhp standard? Think they can be remapped.

Yeah, 3.0 CDTi Signum... Usually have loads of kit, plenty of power, and a remapped 3.0 V6 diesel would be pretty nippy!

we'd all love to say:
"i want a car that is brand new, not much money, is pink in colour, shoots rockets out the exhausts, averages 50+ mpg but is quick enough to beat a veyron"
tbh you have to compromise on your options lol, you'll be looking hard to find that
