Can you recommend a used car that's suitable for family use?
We need a reliable used family car. We cover 12,000 miles a year, which is mainly on motorways. I’ve got £5000 to spend and am thinking Honda Civic. Can you offer any advice?

The 2006 - 2012 Civic 1.8iES is very commodious and can be surprisingly economical. I've has 45mpg out of them on long trips.
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.
