Overdose

Hi all,
My Fabia Monty looks like it might be terminal, even if it's not, I've had enough of the thing and it's going to be shown the door, so...
I have a max budget of £5k and need a reliable replacement with the following requirements (I appreciate that it might be a tall order).
A VAG car
Economical, I do 15K+ miles/year - Ideally 55mpg+. As a measure, I could get a consistent 53mpg with mixed driving in the Monty, ragged as it is.
Reliable, at least more reliable than my Monty
DIY repairable - I don't want to have to remove a subframe to replace an exhaust, nor remove bumpers to replace headlights, for example.
Nothing too long due to driveway parking restraints.
What are the best options here?
Cheers
