Diesel depends on the type of driving you do, I do more motorway driving than I've ever done in my life now so it works out well for me. If I wanted to go into a city with a LEZ I'd park up and get a train. As I live on the outskirts of Birmingham this is going to be an issue for me very soon but already if I want to go to the city centre I'll park and ride. Worrying about the future of diesel vehicles when buying a car that'll be turned into shopping trollies in a few years is, IMHO, a complete red herring. Who knows, if they run a scrappage scheme it might even be worth a few quid.

Then we can move on to the "Did I buy the right car" thread, followed by the "How do I sell a car thread," and then finally on to the "false alarm, I am keeping it" thread.
You're on a limited budget. Why not concentrate on the things that really matter - practicality, reliability, economy and condition - and forget about the stuff that doesn't...
On the budget you have, if you want a *good* car then you have to forget about all the crap that makes cars expensive and accept the stuff that cuts costs without affecting the good stuff. If you can afford a posh car then by all means get fussy about the trivial nonsense.
Or buy an eight year old Renault Grand Scenic, you'll get one for under £4K now. And no I am not selling mine!

I want a Honda CRZ. It just appeals to me!
It's so weird and wonderful. I don't think I've ever even seen one on the road. There are two within an hour's drive of me. I'm currently making a shortlist of the thirty-odd that are currently on Autotrader. The top dog GT models that I lust for will require train journeys of at least six hours and a leap of faith that they turn out to be as good as they appear in the advert. Otherwise I'm in for a very long day return trip on the choochoo.

Don’t get a Honda. They have a secret setting which makes you drive 20mph below every speed limit.
One is a 12 plate with 95,000 miles on for £6,000. The other is an 11 plate with 68,000 miles on for £6,500.
They both have full service history and good MOT history. Visually there's nothing between them in terms of bodywork or interior.
The 11 plate one does have the factory Sat-Nav / Multimedia touch-screen, an extra bit of sporty trim down the sides and 17" Honda Speedline alloys with low-profile tyres and it's done 27,000 fewer miles - but it's a year older and £500 more.
The Sat-Nav / Multimedia thing is neither here nor there really as I would possibly fit a more modern touch-screen unit to either car. I'm also a little concerned about the low-profile tyres. Jap cars have a rep for having firm rides and the low-profiles will make that worse I suspect (though I've never driven a car with low-profiles on, so I'm just guessing here).
Anyway - here are the two;
