Buying a small used diesel - any recommendations?
I'm looking for a small and reliable diesel car. It must be second hand and economical. I'm considering a Toyota Yaris 1.4, Ford Fiesta 1.3 and a Vauxhall Corsa 1.3. I drive about 300 miles a week mainly out of town at 50-65 mph. Which would you recommend?

They Yaris is generally by far the best of these, but, of course, you could still be unlucky. When you buy a 10 year old car there could still be something wrong with it.
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.
