Giulietta or Civic?
I need a new car and I like the Honda Civic and Alfa Romeo Giulietta. I will be doing mainly suburban driving, occasional motorway runs and low mileage - probably 6000/9000 miles a year.
Essentials are:- reliability, good to drive, economical to run, comfortable. Which would you recommend?

Without a doubt the Civic 1.8i the 2006-2012 was capable of 45mpg; the 2012 can do 48mpg and both are good to drive. Not as pretty as a Giulietta, but much more efficient. Chain cam, too.
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.
