An economical used car?
I currently own a 2005 2.0 TDCi Focus, I use the car for a 150 mile motorway speed round trip commute daily. I love the relaxing feel of putting the car in 6th and seeing the rev counter sit below 2000, however I need something that is much more economical (mine averages 50mpg) and that doesnt rev itself to bits at 70 mph for about 8-10k (used). The only car that comes up with a 6 speed and is reasonably lively in performance is a Mini, can this be true? Would love to know your thoughts.

FIAT 500 1.3 Multijet. About 60 - 65mpg on the motorway, decent ride from 2010MY and excellent seats.
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.

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.
