Should I replace my Toyota Yaris with a Volvo C30?
I have a Toyota Yaris 1.4M D-4D TR which I bought new in 2008. I have been pleased with the car, except for its lack of pulling power going up hills. For this reason I am thinking of buying a Volvo C30 S1.6 DRIVe. I test-drove a BMW 1 Series but felt boxed in. I have also looked at the Ford Fiesta Titanium 1.6 diesel. Should I be looking at any other makes? I am not keen on a Volkswagen Golf diesel as I was dissatisfied with a previous Golf and found Volkswagen most unhelpful. I average about 11,000 miles a year of mixed urban and motorway driving.

A C30 1.6 DRIVe is quite a nice car, low in CO2 and high in economy.
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.
