Safe, efficient, cheap to insure car
I am looking to buy a car that will be used 5 days a week, 115 miles a day. Pretty much straight run: motorway and major A roads (very few/infrequent stoppages).
The main criteria I have are:
- High MPG
- Good safety (4 or 5 star)
- Low Insurance
Other criteria would include good reliability and not exceeding ~£4k. The cheaper the better, although I would pay more if it represented good value.
Basically, I would like to buy a car that meets these criteria and keep it for about 10 years or for as long as it lasts. There would be no intention of ever selling it on unless it had major issues.

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.
