Small car for the motorway

My wife has got a new job which will involve a 60 mile round trip, mainly motorway driving. She currently has a 2004, 1.4l Fiesta and we are wondering if she would be better replacing the Fiesta with something for a similar price that would get better MPG. A similarly aged 1.4l Jazz was what we had considered.

A Jazz will not be a similar price. It will be more.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
