Best £5k car for economy?
I need to buy a car to get me to work and back. I travel around 20,000 miles (mainly on the motorway) a year so fuel economy is important and I also have to give clients a lift occasionally so want something that I won't be embarrassed to turn up in. My budget is £5000, what do you suggest?

KIA cee'd 1.6CRDI or Hyundai i30 1.6CRDI.
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.
