Which car is best for the daily commute?
I now need to buy a new car; my commute is 15 miles of twisty A road and then 35 miles of dual carriageway. Economy and reliability are key for me. Would you recommend a Skoda Citigo and what sort of economy do you think I could expect?

Citroen C1, Peugeot 107 or Toyota Aygo would be a better bet. They're cheaper to buy and all under 100g/km of CO2, so free VED (even though the saving is only £20 a year). They are averaging 55.2mpg in real life v/s 54.6mpg for the Citigo (58.3 for the more expensive Greentech).
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'm based in London, and since moving here I've generally gotten away with riding a 50cc Vespa, but would now like to get myself a car so as to get out of town on the weekends (Cornwall, Cotswolds, etc..).
