Hi everyone! Right, I'm looking for a car and have a big list of must haves haha. So here's the list;

Sat Nav
£30 or less tax per year
Diesel
5 Doors
Min 2010/2011
5 seats minimum
Big boot
Must be economical
No higher than 1.6

Would like but not absolutely necessary;

Cruise control
Car to be Black, silver, grey or white (will consider other colours but nothing awful)

Must not be;

Red
Sold by anyone dodgy
No 7 seaters

Maximum price for the perfect car £6000 cash.

So, anyone have anything or any recommendations!?

Thanks alot!!

Golf Bluemotion Tech Final Edition? Comes with the touchscreen sat nav, not massive boot wise though.

This meets all the criteria, except the road tax which is £135 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2017...

Granted, no sat nav on any of these but when you can pick up a standalone unit for under £100 with lifetime map updates it seems at odds with trying to find a car with it as a manufacturer fitted option as it will really limit the number of cars to consider.

Does a hatchback have a big enough boot or do you want an estate? Are you going to have 3 adults in the rear so need a larger/wider car than if it was 3 children in the rear? I take it you will be doing regular motorway trips to make diesel worthwhile and to ensure the DPFs don't get clogged?
