Carefully consider VW AU parts and servicing costs first, all VW's have 'issues' according to my mechanic. I'd look at a Fiat Punto 1.2 for around $14K it's a lot of car. If you don't mind two doors consider a Fiat 500 Pop and get some style and really strong residuals. 60mpg (imp) real world is entirely possible from Fiat's 1.2's.
