Radical Car rethink

I currently drive (and love) a Saab 93 2.0 s petrol...which is slowly dying.

I was planning on getting either an Avensis or Passat diesel. I commute 16k per yr on windy country roads plus 3k personal use.

Budget up to £6k at a push......plus the value of my Sabb - so thats £6050.

My wife has just poked me and suggested I try and go really green, so..............can anyone suggest a car that:

better MPG than 50 (Passat/Avensis)
Budget £6050
Fits 2 adults 3 children (for occassional weekend trips)

    Honda Accord? Good mpg and nicer to drive than either a Passat or an Avensis both of which will feel utterly dull after your Saab especially on country roads.
