Do you think I’m sixy?

Do you think that petrol 6-cylinders are still a viable option? I ask because, when returning from a recent holiday in the South-West of England, I managed to obtain 38.6 mpg on the trip computer of my 407 Coupe 3.0 V6 Auto (loaded with two passengers and luggage).

That’s not bad. Probably a lot to do with the car’s aerodynamics. The 407 Coupe is one of the quietest cars I know.

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.
