My Dad is looking to replace his 2.4 Diesel Alfa 159 because its getting a little clogged up as he only makes short journeys these days.

So, he's looking to replace it with a Petrol, 5 Door, Automatic and a reliable engine that can do 38mpg+. He's not too bothered by performance anymore, so that doesn't matter. Also, he's told me 2006 would be the oldest age he'd really want because he says he's a "Number plate snob" =P, but if you think of something older than that I'm sure he'd consider it and just buy a personalised plate.

So what do you reckon? He's thinking a Honda Civic at the mo..

Dan.

Golf 1.6 mk5 5 door?
What about some sort of Audi A3 2LTurbodiesel in 5 door? I know its a diesel but they would surely be good mpg also?

could get a nice merc for that money if not worried about performance could go for a small c180 or c200 could push for 35mpg combined
