Buying a used hatchback - what would you recommend?
I am looking to buy a used car and want to spend £5000. I want something that’s cheap to fix/run and boasts good fuel economy. What would you recommend?

You'll get a 2007 Civic 1.8i for around £5000. Now only is it enormously practical and quite good to drive, but it can do 45mpg.
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.
