What recommendations can you suggest for a 500-mile a week motorway/A road commute (100 miles, five days per week). I'm looking to buy in the £7000 region, ideally automatic with cruise control. I previously had a 2009 3 Series BMW 318d that was perfect, but unfortunately, I wrote that off. It was a bit pricey on road tax, but I got 600 miles from a full tank. I did start looking at the Mk7 Golf 1.6 and 2.0-litre as these seemed to have good reviews, but there aren't many around. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards.
