I had a new Hyundai recently ix10 I think it was? 1.7 d was ok to drive, loads of toys and felt pretty well made. I wanted to hat it but I couldn't, I averaged 44mpg with a mix of city and motorway driving over a fortnight

My sister had one, pile of shit, no more useful than a fiesta, no point in decent seats with a crappy boot, be better off with a focus

We've got a CRV diesel Sport (No idea why they called it a sport as it's a diesel soft roader but a remap took it to 170bhp). Nice to drive and does approx 40mpg round town and nearly 50mpg on a run. There not a full time, go anywhere mud plugger but it was more than capable of getting us about in the snow when we needed to. Seats 5, 6 speed, good spec, with plenty of boot space and even has a picnic table and drinks cooler built in.

They hold there money well and it's less than Ł300 a year to insure for us. I've took it down to Mallorca a couple of times and it was "turn the key and go". Before I had this I had an ML and Cayenne which both were quick and nice but the saving on the running costs of the CRV mean it justifies me buying another toy Oh and I doubt I'll lose that much money on it when the time does come to sell it unlike some other makes .....

have you factored in the cost of changing a car and it's depreciation into you extra mpg money saving plans
you'll probably find it's alot chaperr to keep the car she has

my Mrs has a fusion TDCI, pile of shite or not it runs on fresh air, Ł30 a year to tax and in 3 years had no problems at all, cheap motoring IMO.

if going for the fusion maybe look at the cmax. we have one and its aslightly bigger boot than the fusion.

but not as big as a focus estate lol

imo for the money, id have an audi avangarde s4 lol

i dont want to have more than 2 grand into a car therefore no real depeciation, i can only ever lose 2 grand which a new one would lose in its 1st 3 months

work has an s max to sell of soon, i may put a word in but that wil be 3k+ on an 08 plate

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

not bad for 3k! i paid 7k for a 57 plate cmax, but they are still selling for that with higer milage. bought ours on 8k, now on 18k and it has the panoramic glass roof - mega exepensive optional extra

so at the mo, we should see back what we paid for it.
