The Passat Diesel is really nice and fairly trouble free, only thing is a newer one will be hard to be had for under $15k. A VW Jetta Diesel is also an excellent choice, you can get this as a wagon and although is smaller than the Passat, it also costs less, both share the same TDI engine and the Jetta averages 40mpg, the Passat is slightly less, but well in the mid 30'smpg.

Being biased I would recommend a MB diesel wagon over any car
