Mondeo (2003 from memory) I've had and enjoyed, fantastic to drive for a big car and pretty simple underneath. Eat waterpumps and wheel bearings for breakfast (yay, plastic impellers)

Will also look at Accords, have to be careful on certain models/years as they nudge into a higher tax band by being just over the threshold. Something like £430 to tax

If I could find one that hasn't been spammed to hell and back I'd probably go for an Impreza Sportwagen. Chances of that are zero.

It's been quite a depressing few hours so thanks for the help. Cars really aren't what they used to be, are they? I really don't understand people who are chucking £600 per month on lease payments for cars that are just so deathly dull and generic.
Found this on another forum i'm on, price is a tad steep but not wildly out as the prices are going up for what is now a very rare car :

By the way, the interior is grey, not black as the seller states! Most owners report ~35mpg as well so pretty good for your anticipated commute! Drops round town and on short journeys obviously but same goes for anything!
