You are probably right
Mrs A had a company hack Di-16V in 2000 the engine of which was impressively reliable, smooth and economical given it had been abused by pretty much everyone else in the company prior to her using it. The rest of the car was the usual GM mix of poor design and awful quality, combined with strange smells. Wretched, but cheap to run. Never checked the oil though.
It was preferred to the 4dr 325i BMW she had before though - this was the ex-finance director's pride and joy. Which was odd as it lacked a lot of "go" and drank like a wino locked into threshers after closing time. Someone resembling me may have practised drifting it round Sherifhall roundabout at 2am going to the 24 hour pharmacy when A-junior was running a temperature which probably didn't do the economy or tyres much good.
One other thought would be an old-body but facelifted Meganne with the later DCi engine instead of the old dT.
Double bonus if you get one of the ultra rare 4 door "Classic" models.
Or what about a Polo "D" like the one Mr Chalmers (late of this parish) has (or had) ?
