Buying a new/nearly new diesel car for a long commute?
I want to buy a more fuel efficient car, as I have a long commute to work of 350 miles per week. I am thinking of a diesel, with a reasonable engine size. I was wondering about the Peugeot Oxygo/Economique or the Citroen DS3 e-diesel. What do you think, and do you have any other suggestions? My budget is approx. £12-15k.

Never heard of a Peugeot Oxygo. The DS3 is nice, biut best with the THP 150/156 petrol engine and 6 speed box. Still gives 45mpg.
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.
