3rd time and we're barely half way through the year, good luck in the next 5 months

My mate just got a 1.8D Fiesta... seems to do the trick and he got it very cheap.

Price on diesel means it won't be overly awesome. Little 1.1i would probs be better

I was gona suggest that too

1.1 is cheaper tax and better(ish) MPG, but the 306 is bigger and you can have a dump valve

weetz · 11th July 2008, 17:58

If you do a lot of motorway driving the diesel would be much better than 1.1. Also if someone else was to crash into you, you would be better off in the 306 safety wise.

well ignis did well tbh although i was thrown about etc and was awquard leg position i did well. good job i always where my seatbelt tbh, dont think i would be here otherwise :s

Clone · 11th July 2008, 18:43

i have a diesel but it's a seat ibiza 1.9TDI ( 130bhp ) i can get 50mgp on the clock thing during some drives but i have yet to break 400 miles to a full tank. Ads does great with his 1.5d saxo - surprised no one mentioned it.

Tommy-S · 11th July 2008, 19:33

a tank will do it!

Marcos · 11th July 2008, 19:45

adsayer is like a mpg whore though didnt he get like 800 or 900 to a tank?
