Buying a new car - Volkswagen or Skoda?
I need to replace 16-year-old, seven-seater Volvo estate. I want to buy something that will be comfortable on the motorway, but provide good fuel economy. I’ll be driving up to 15,000 miles a year and am considering a Volkswagen Golf or Skoda equivalent. Should I get new or not very used? I have not had to consider what to drive for a very long time and feel really out of my depth!

Before you consider a used Volkswagen or a Skoda, read the relevant entries in our in-depth car by car section: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/
I think your best bet will be a Hyundai i30 or KIA cee'd 1.6CRDI or, if buying new, possibly a Honda Civic 1.6 iDTEC.

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.
