What is the most efficient diesel family car to buy?

What is the most efficient diesel family (non-MPV) car to buy? My budget is €20K and I do on average 60 miles a day.

Hi Blaithin,

In my personal experience the most efficient car I've ever driven was the Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion - it easily averages better than 60mpg in everyday driving and I'm not the most economical of drivers. €20k should get you a nicely specced 2010 or 2011 model.

How does that sound?
