What's the best used car for 120 mile commute?
I need a car with great fuel economy for my 120 mile per day commute. It must be reliable, comfortable and suitable for my family. Budget circa £8000, but could stretch it for the right car.

120 miles a day is getting up to 30k miles a year, so you want something cheap that will be reliable until you destroy it. There's a bloke lives in Essex and works in Wales that did okay with a Clio 1.5 diesel. You can just about get a basic brand new Dacia Sandero 1.5dCi that's the same underneath for £8k, but you'll have to buy and fit your own radio and you don't get a/c.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.

Unbelievably cheap for this size of car, generous interior space and a big boot, reasonably comfortable to drive.
