Mini tends to come somewhere at the top. Honda cars always keep their cost but in part its due to the cost of parts.

General Comments
I ordered the Audi A4 Tdi SE 130 with lots of extras including leather, Xenons, sports suspension and sports seats.
The ride is excellent and well controlled. Changing direction at speed produces no shocks and country lane driving at good speed is far better than should be expected from a car which is basically built for economy.
Pickup is also excellent as is high speed motorway cruising.
Economy took some miles to run in and give best results. Now 50 mpg on a run is fairly easily achieved and 40 to 45 dashing around country lanes a pleasent surprise.
Overall an excellent car.
heres another
Good Points
Agile, sporty even in base models, sure footed, fuel efficient, smooth, great looking, big boot for a saloon, clear controls, a drivers car, climate control as standard, accelerates like no other diesel I've driven.
Bad Points
Limited extras on base models compared to lesser manufacturers, hard ride for passengers.
General Comments
What ever I say, the Audi A4 TDi is an excellent car to drive. It feels agile, accelerates well even at speed in 6th gear, it holds the road beyond my nerve, and controls the grip and braking through systems I trust even if I don't understand how they do it.
I drive the 2 litre TDI Euro IV, and with a lot of hard driving both motorway at speed and round town stop start I get 50 miles to the gallon. It does 600 miles to a tank and with cruise control and carefull driving would do much better. Having said that I enjoy driving it so much I don't like to just idle along. FOrgive me one and all.
It looks great, even without the S-Line low suspension the SE model has the right curves to tell you this is a well designed car. It sits well on the road and wind noise is not evident until well above the limit! The ride is sporty though and my kids having no trouble in family Citroens and Vauxhalls get travel sick in the back of the Audi! But there has to be some sacrifice for good handling doesn't there.
Inside the equipment is well laid out and the fit and materials are the best I've seen in a car of this class. Easily beats the BMW3 series on the same matter. But there are a few niggles. Sure you get proper climate control and it works well, but compared to lesser cars, wheres the CD multichanger and folding rear seat as standard? Options thats where. Every thing is an add on option, but having said that you need to look deeper. The electronic that keep teh car on the road are good. The handling is excellent. The stereo is 150W and excelent even at high volume. The driver compurter offers useful features and differentiates between urgent and not so urgent warnings. The lights turn them selves off when you turn off the engine and so the quality is there and this more than makes up for the minor missives.
As for Audi, well, I can't comment on all dealers but my local dealer, took in my car with no warning, over a minor (non urgent) fault, solved it within an hour, were polite and curtious, made me feel weclome and sent me on my way reassure and fixed. SO far the service matches the quality of the car
definateley a good car if youve got the moeny to buy one and you want it to hold its value
... good luck in chhooosing!!

Not under 20k but I'm very excited about the Hyudai Genisis Coupe! It tops out with extras at aroud 31k...And its new not used! RWD, turbo 6, with a choice of several 6spd trannys, brembo brake's...this car will be hot I think...the lower end models without all the bells and whistles are low 20k's...Thats what I'd go for!

Honda Jazz or bmw mini,both have great residuals,if it is reliability also the Honda JAZZ is the number one purchase,as
