Pretty much the same story as me.
Went from a Stage 1 tuned Golf GTI Edition 30 to a 2016 330d due to a change of job, meaning 25K a year.
In all honesty, the 330d is just as fast as the GTI in a straight line, but over the 25K odd miles I've owned it, it's returned a genuine 50mpg. Almost twice that of the Golf. Pretty incredible for a ~1700kg car with a 3.0 engine.
LCI 30d is ULEZ 6 compliant. Not sure about the 35d though?
I do miss the Golf's nimbleness in the corners, but nothing else. The F30 is superior in every other way. I love it and have no regrets. Much easier to work on than the Golf as well.
