I'm driving a VW Passat tdi. I love the diesel, but my situation has changed a bit. The company I work for wants me to rent instead of paying .56 per mile, so the mileage of a diesel isn't as important. I herniated a disc and the Passat doesn't have...

My top 2 choices are the 2005 Honda Civic HX Coupe CVT Transmission and the 2005 Volkswagen Golf TDI. The main reason these are my top 2 is because of the fuel efficency these cars are supposed to get.
