Honda Jazz or SEAT Ibiza?
I currently have an 04 Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec - bit of an impulse buy last year and now finding it very costly to run. Insurance and Tax both high and as I do mainly town centre driving - bacically pottering about - I'm getting about 32mpg.
Have done my homework this time, especially as I only have a budget of around £3000. I need a decent boot space for my dog so can't go too small. Fuel economy, tax and insurance costs also important.

The cost of switching will alone be around £1,500. Not worth it. You could go down to a Fiesta 1.25, because they are pretty reliable, but that's as low as I'd go. £3,000 Citroen C1s, 107s and Aygos may seem cheap to run but start falling apart after 3 - 4 years.
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.
