Best car to buy? Honda? Kia? Hyundai?

Diesel?  Whatever it is, it's dang nice mileage.... way better than the ~17 I get tooling around town in the mullet chariot.

Yes it's diesel. 1.5 litre 3 cylinder BMW B37 engine. Personally I'm not a diesel fan, I prefer driving a petrol, but it's a company lease and was cheapest to get.

I miss my diesel.  I just sold it last year since I didn't have the time on the weekends to keep fixing stuff (just on the car, the engine itself was rock solid). 

I bought my diesel when I was driving my truck 30k miles a year at 14 mpg when gas was over $3.00 a gallon.  You can do the math.  The VW TDI paid for itself a few times over.  The only reason I didn't replace it with another diesel was due to the fact that I don't drive nearly as many miles per year.
