I'm looking for a 1.6-litre diesel hatchback, any good suggestions? Was thinking of maybe a 2008/2009 Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf.

Hi Morgan,
Can't go wrong with either of those, to be fair. The Golf is classier, the Focus slightly better to drive and a bit more affordable. Also consider the SEAT Leon (same as a Golf but a bit cheaper to buy, incredibly solid and reliable) or the excellent Kia cee'd.
