What should I replace my Mondeo with?
I do 25,000 miles a year, mostly business. My trusty Ford Mondeo is nearing the end of its life and I need a used replacement. I want comfort, reliability and economy. I am also a keen angler and need to be able to load smelly fishing tackle into the back of the car at weekends. My budget is £20,000. What should I get?

A Honda CR-V 2.2iDTEC will do 40 - 42mpg. A 320d could give you as much as 60mpg. BMW 2.0 litre diesels are definitely the most economical, but need 10,000 mile oilchanges. Also best to avoid 18 - 20-inch wheels. Stick to 16s or 17s.
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.
