• Ford Mondeo - Mondeo/Vectra 2005 - petrol or diesel? 24 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  The old faithful s-reg Mondeo petrol estate is still running like a swiss watch, but the rust and tyre situation probably means that funds to nurse it through the Mot would be better spent elsewhere. we are usually short runs (10 miles return) with occasional big trips, but like the comfort of  a car Mondeo/Vectra sized - hatchback slightly preferable for the supermarket car park. :-) .

• Golf Mk 7 Diesel - Golf Mk 7 mpg levels 18 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  I wish I had not bothered. The mpg in the new one - supposedly much higher - is actually much worse. I run it in eco mode, I turn off the aircon, and i do all the sensible things to get the mpg up. The car has done 39 mpg from new, and its best ever run was 45 mpg. It has never recorded 50 mpg.   The new car is supposed to do 62.8 mpg.

  To put this into context our car is used mainly for local urban journeys with occasional longer runs at the weekend. We fortunate to live close to work, schools and church and most journeys are less than 5 miles/15 mins each (Yes we do use bikes when we can). We don't have any specific need to run the climate control all of the time although a wet pram in the winter will increase the need.
