Socks Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 A bone stock GT Turbo will do 40mpg You could get a 4efe EP91 too which would get close. Quote
daniel_g Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Ive had a few 4efe corollas, they can get decent mpg if driven slowly.A d4d corolla (newer shape than mine) is very eco. Quote
aleximport25 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Posted February 15, 2017 A bone stock GT Turbo will do 40mpg You could get a 4efe EP91 too which would get close.id love a gt as a daily but I want something I wont cry about if it gets damaged haha I'm tempting using lauras sr but its not that fantastic on fuel tbh. ive tempted a d4d yaris due to the £30 tax and 70mpgSUPRA you sir are a twat hahaha Quote

Ollieh17 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I'd step away fromp jap if you want something pretty cheap and good on fuel. Look at the pugs 306 hdi or 1.9 dieasel. Cheap, good on fuel and reliable Quote

Cheap, good on fuel and reliable ive had a 106 diesel and it was awesome on fuel but I wanted more space, but a 306 is a good call might go have a look at a few Quote
Patches Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Guy i know has a 98 polo 1.9 diesel he got for £400, seems to do pretty good mpg. Almost as good as my 2013 polo 1.2 tdi Quote
Ollieh17 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) I just sold a 306 hdi estate. 12months mot 400. Was great on fuel.one of the original common rail diesels. Reliable, good on fuel but not fast but good mile muncher. Edited February 15, 2017 by Ollieh17 Quote
Fozzie Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Could get a Paseo (if you don't need lots of space) - can pick them up for peanuts and they're both bulletproof and super economical. I've had 48/49 mpg out of them on a long run before. Quote
maddox710 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I've got a 02 yaris t sport, such a fun little car will do 34mpg with a short drive to work, does about 370miles too a tank. Even with 137k on clock its drive brilliant and cost me £800 Quote

Even with 137k on clock its drive brilliant and cost me £800I had one as a first car, was fuckin great!They are not deer proof though, thats how mine got totalled :/ Quote
Hair Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Bought a '91 corolla estate cheap as chips to run Quote
aleximport25 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Posted February 15, 2017 Polo would be a good call actually as a mate of mine strips vws. I did have a look for paseos but they seem to be few in numbers and prices seem to be rising Bought a '91 corolla estate cheap as chips to runThats a right beast haha what's it do mpg wise? Quote
Starlet__SR Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Plenty of VAG diesels available cheap on eBay. Quote
Turbo Goose Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I picked up a 2003 volvo v40 sport for 600 quid.Got the 1.9 diesel renault engine so returns 50mpg.Hands down matches starlet as best car ive owned each for very different reasons. I can literally so what i want in it, loads of space for engines/wheels/rubbish whatever and just service it every 10k.Its got 230k on the clock and still going strong Quote
Addymk2 Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Alfa 147/156. Cracking to drive and the 1.9 is the same lump as fitted to the Saab's, almost all Vauxhall's and a lot of other misc shit. Worth a punt for a grand and you'll probably get leathers + cruise for that. Quote
TrisK Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Civic Type R. Wont do the fuel, over budget and youll spend too much on it... Quote
