Big Commute Car Advice

gabitzul

For me realistically, if I had to do that sort of commute, I would be looking at something like a small/medium size hatchback with a small diesel engine.

If it is one like the Ford Ecomotive / Skoda Greenline etc even better as they have loner gearing and usually cheaper tax than their non-"green" models.

Skoda Octavia as an example:

Sadly that model of 5 series is the F10 and as such it isnt within the O/P's budget, its the previous one - the E60 - that you can get for that, if you're prepared to go for a high miles and / or oldish one.

And i'm sure you realise that government stats are rarely how it is in the real world anyway. It would be clearly foolish to think - or to set an expectation - that a large heavy exec barge would be capable of similar fuel economy to say a small hatchback diesel.

Hence why i went to the trouble of giving "actuals" for the cars that DKLS mentioned, that are within the O/Ps price band.

I am sure you would agree such cars are realistically not an option for the O/P, if hes trying to save on fuel and running costs.

Yes, I do realise all this of course. My factoid was correct albeit irrelevant.
