Me and my galls
Like me, my T reg. Mazda 626 2.0i petrol Estate is getting a bit long in the tooth and will soon need replacing. I do about 10,000 miles a year and it delivers 40-42mpg. I'm looking for another estate car, preferably petrol, but with a similar mpg. Any thoughts? I read your positive reviews about the Mondeo III but I'm not sure it will deliver a similar mpg. I don't need anything fancy, just a reliable and frugal estate.

You'll be quite lucky to average 40-42mpg out of any similar sized petrol car, but I reckon your best chance is with a new model Toyota Avensis 1.8 Valvematic SW. It's a really sweet engine. Lively, yet very economical.
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.

I would like to get a new-shape Toyota Avensis 09-reg. What diesel engine should I go for: 2.2 or 2.0?
My partner and I currently share a car, she commutes 20miles a day and I use the car for fun on weekends. We only cover 6000 miles a year, and as a petrolhead even the modern diesels dont do it for me.
