Searching for a second car that's comfortable and economical
We are looking to get a second car and would like some advice on what you'd recommend for us. My husband currently does around 20,000 - 25,000 miles per year and that's split equally between motorway and city driving for his work.
What would you recommend that's comfortable, but economically viable? My husband prefers premium cars.

BMW 320d. I got 63mpg over 7000 miles. Or a smaller 118d. 2.0-litre BMW diesels are the most economical 2.0-litre diesels out there, and for big distances better than any 1.6 diesels too.
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.
