Buying a used, economical car. What do you suggest?
What car would you recommend I buy to replace our Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin? I want similar ease of access that the Shogun provides (to help my back problems!) and would like a more economical vehicle. I have about £6,000, plus the Y reg, 3-door auto Pinin to trade in.

Ford C-Max TDCI 90 without as DPF. Should do abouty 45mpg. Very easy to get in and out of. Or a Ford Fusion with the same 1.6TDCI 90 non DPF engine.
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.
