What should I swap my Renaultsport Megane 250 for?

My partner and I currently share a car, she commutes 20miles a day and I use the car for fun on weekends. We only cover 6000 miles a year, and as a petrolhead even the modern diesels dont do it for me.

Currently drive a Renaultsport Megane 250 but the rear and blind spot visibility is borderline dangerous, especially as a part of my partners commute is joining and leaving a busy motorway junction.

Have been looking at a Mondeo Titanium X-Sport (petrol) and Skoda Octavia vRS. Would prefer DSG-type auto but not a deal breaker.

Well the Mondeo 2.0 SCTI Econetic Powershift is fantastic. Flows beautifully through the bends. Test and video here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/ford/ford-mondeo-2.../ Will note your comment about rear 3/4 vision from the Megane coupe.
