Check you need a diesel for the good fuel consumption. It is an easy calculation to get a decent feel. If you are not doing many miles then the saving, which could be a few hundred pounds even in this price range, pays for a lot of the difference at the pump.
Some diesels don't like short journeys so servicing may become more expensive.
Of course you may just use that saving on a better car.
Overall I think a Focus or a Golf are a good choice.
We have an old Focus that I keep suggesting we replace, but Mrs43 points out, righty, that there is really no need. It is a very good car.
