What's the best hybrid estate car?
I am looking to change my 10-year-old Golf diesel. I would like a car with similar fuel costs and am told the Toyota Corolla Touring Sports hybrid is good. What do you think?

The Toyota Corolla is a full hybrid (one with a small battery which charges itself as you drive) rather than a plug-in hybrid where you can charge a larger battery at home. Toyota does offer a plug-in hybrid RAV4, but for a similar-sized plug-in car we'd recommend checking out the new Peugeot 308 PHEV estate, the Astra Sports Tourer hybrid or the Skoda Octavia iV estate.
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.
