Hi Guys

 

I have some stuff posted about this car in a different thread (model and year in Topic Title) but having decided to buy it I am now concerned about the MPG.  If I can get around 30 urban then ok but can recent owners tell me the "real" number please.  If its less than 30 around town then I wont buy.  I need around 30 in town minimum and 40ish motorway.

 

Thanks

 

Joe

How long is a piece of string. Theres just to many factors to be able to say what milage youle get   e.g  driving stlyle, road conditions, vehicle conditions,fuel you use,engine condition, tyre condition etc etc. each one is different and can affect the milage

Thanks, I guess I was just looking average mpg from drivers of the same car.

The official figures for the 2.2 hdi 136 bhp engine auto are 28.8 mpg urban, 51.4 extra urban, 39.8 combined - so round town officially you will not get 30 mpg.

 

The same year 2.0 138 bhp manual is 36.2 / 56.5 / 47.1 - so this has a better chance of 30 mpg round town.

 

With an auto you also have the possibility of maintenance problems/costs.
