Thanks for all the replies. Just had a look at Honest John for mileage figs :eek: - somehow I must have been looking at the diesel I think! Also, should have said we'll need an automatic so that will lower the mileage. We need one with good clearance as some roads we're going on are quite bumpy - not 4WD territory but there are things sticking up.

I had a Captur as a courtesy car a few months back and found it very uneconomical. No automatic. Looks nice though!

The Fiat 500L I hadn't considered - didn't realise it was quite so big (or maybe that the Juke is quite so small ). I've had a few Fiat's and they've been great but just checked and no automatic

Rav4 is nice but 2l only giving 26mpg :eek:.

Mokka looks a possibility - and diesel + 50 to gallon on automatic :T.

ix20 doesn't look very high off ground.

The Suzuki looks good and good mpg also :T.

So, SX4 and Mokka to explore further so far .

Dualogic is an option isnt it?

The captur is more economical (in diesel) than anything similar.
It says 70mpg, im getting closer to 60mpg (59.9mpg) - its been increasing from 59mpg upwards since I got it. I have been told it takes around 3000 miles to pick up - mine hasnt done 1000 yet - although that is manual not automatic.

The Renault Captur comes in a very economical 1.5l diesel automatic, I've seen some on auto trader, its also road tax exempt

Just looked it up - 'dual clutch' did not sound like an automatic to me . Neither did 'dual logic'. Why can't manfacturers just say whether it's petrol/diesel, manual/automatic and whether 0-60 is measured in seconds or 'eventually, on a good day with a following wind and going downhill'.

List getting longer :T.

Lol I know. It did confuse me at first. I'm considering getting one myself, the automatic diesel version, looks very nice

It's the same 1.5 under the Juke's bonnet isn't it..?

~29 mpg from the Audi is probably a steady motorway drive. ~29 mpg from the Nissan is most likely short urban commutes

It was mixed driving - 50/50 town/motorway.

It was a great car - just an SE Quattro, so looked really plain in dark blue. Always used to have fun at traffic lights next to bloke in BMW 530d' Sport's

I didn't even know they did it in a diesel, I haven't looked at the Juke in detail, its not my cup of tea, bit ugly IMO

If you can stretch your budget the BMW X3 or Audi Q3 are excellent cars to consider

I don't think I could buy a BMW or an Audi as a matter of principle, it's the anti-snob in me :rotfl:.

It is a bit . The Captur is very attractive - but very flimsy - I had a kamikaze pheasant fly into the one I had and the trim round the wheel arch came undone and banged all the way home till I could pop it back in place :eek:

We've had a 2l petrol auto Rav 4 at 37mpg, and a 2.2l diesel auto Rav 4 at 32mpg. Petrol auto still has the awful multidrive-s transmission so best avoided.

My favorite though is the toyota verso - loads of storage and room inside, high driving position, option for 7 seats, good satnav. I'm doing 38mpg at the moment with the 1.8l petrol auto, and not driving slow! Great family car with one of the highest safety awards.
