I know you said not french but a 406 110 hdi would take a lot of beating for the spec and price.

That kind of money should find a decent MG ZS ---- go for the 1.6 ---112bhp ver nippy handles a lot better than the focus.

if i was buying it would have to be a galaxy( or seat/vw), for that money u will get a diesel (40mpg+ easy) driver nice, get a ghia x with all the
toys and your sorted, drives like a car, economy like a car, but when you need it its a bus or a van, they are great alround vehicles, when i get back
to the uk and need a cheap run around i will be getting one

A decent Rover 600 (Don't laugh) would probably fit your needs and its only a little bit Japanese.
If it weren't to your objections I'd sugest a Citroen C5.
