Me and my galls
Like me, my T reg. Mazda 626 2.0i petrol Estate is getting a bit long in the tooth and will soon need replacing. I do about 10,000 miles a year and it delivers 40-42mpg. I'm looking for another estate car, preferably petrol, but with a similar mpg. Any thoughts? I read your positive reviews about the Mondeo III but I'm not sure it will deliver a similar mpg. I don't need anything fancy, just a reliable and frugal estate.

You'll be quite lucky to average 40-42mpg out of any similar sized petrol car, but I reckon your best chance is with a new model Toyota Avensis 1.8 Valvematic SW. It's a really sweet engine. Lively, yet very economical.

I would like to get a new-shape Toyota Avensis 09-reg. What diesel engine should I go for: 2.2 or 2.0?
My partner and I currently share a car, she commutes 20miles a day and I use the car for fun on weekends. We only cover 6000 miles a year, and as a petrolhead even the modern diesels dont do it for me.
