    I rented an EasyCar Mercedes A Class a few years back for about 6 months. Cheap as chips although I wouldn't do it again because I refuse to put money in that fat greek gits pockets anymore...

    VW golf TDi makes most sense.....

    Not on the budget of 10k (well, not new anyway) but VW's Jetta is alot of car for the money & it's economical to run.

    Failing that, you could do worse than something from Kia...they're not as bad as you think. If you can get a used Mk 2 Rio (2004 onwards) it's more or less an estate so you can load it up with c**p if you're in the field - they were 7k new. New shape ones have naff all boot room & are more like Corsas...bad decision on the part of Kia there. 50mpg & fairly reliable!

    W124 Mercedes or 3 year old astra / focus / mondeo / vectra would both be sensible.

    or you could get a Mercedes SL convertable / or a boxster for ~10k
