Looking for new car

[Casdawer]

Hello,

At this current moment in time i am a unfortunate owner of a Citroen C2 1.4 Furio. Now this car is fine if you want to pop down the post office but for long journeys it's pretty damn useless. It guzzles fuel like nothing else and does about 30mpg! :/

I'm looking into getting a much better car that can handle long journeys fine and that is fairly cheap to run.

I've had my license for 2 years so i don't want a car that is in a high insurance group otherwise i won't be saving myself money.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Cas.

I have no suggestions sorry.

But 30mpg from that car is down to you and nothing to do with the car, don't thrash it everywhere and you will soon see 50mpg.

Well that's what i thought so i did a little test and see how many i can get if i treat the car nicely.

.. i got an average of 35mpg...

Not much of a difference...

It's not my driving as my girlfriend is saying that she can only get about 30mpg.

I do like the look of the Focus and the Fiesta so will have a look at them.

If i get a new car i will trade in my C2, which i should get about £3500 for it, so £4000 would probably be the amount i would pay.
