What is wrong with your current car? If you're buying a newer one because you want to save money you won't.

I own two cars, I do 17,000 miles a year shared between the two.

Car 1, Mondeo diesel, 55MPG
Car 2, MX5, 37MPG.

If I did it in either instead of both:

17,000 miles in the Mondeo at 55MPG, £1.30/l for diesel is £1826 a year.
17,000 miles in the MX5 at 37MPG, £1.27/l for petrol is £2652.

So even though there's an 18MPG difference between the two it only costs me £826 a year more. The depreciation alone on a much newer car bought to save money would eat up that and more.

How many miles will you do a year and what sort of regular trips are you doing?

You COULD spend £11,000 and keep the other £2K for fuel - so you will have free fuel for the first year......supercharged RR it is

Vauxhall ampera / chevy volt. Technically a hatchback but if you're on electric there's not much out there that will give you better MPG.

weight is your enemy for good fuel consumption. so go as light and small as possible

It's easier to save more on depreciation than on fuel. Buy a cheaper car.
