Can you recommend a saloon car under £10,000?

I travel daily from Kendal, Cumbria to Barrow-In-Furness, Cumbria, it's roughly a 68 mile round trip. Which saloon cars do you recommend for under £10,000 that are good on MPG?

A Volkswagen Passat could be a good option. You'll get the latest model (launched in 2015) within budget. The 2.0-litre diesel will be more pleasant than the 1.6 and the difference in real-world economy is marginal (www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/volkswagen/passat-2015).

Alternatively, a Mazda 6 would be a nice left-field choice.

We need to replace our SEAT Altea. We have a £4500 budget and two growing children, but only a small commute. I'm taken with the idea of a Volkswagen Passat, SEAT Exeo, Honda Accord or Toyota Avensis....
If the Honda Accord is such a good car, how come Honda has stopped selling them in the UK?

Nimble and agile handling. Spacious cabin is very well made. Huge improvements to refinement and steering from October 2016.
Neat styling inside and out, fine quality, strong performance even from the entry-level engines, spacious interior and capacious boot for a saloon.
