Hello!
I currently drive a 2003 MKII 1.2 8v Punto with 107,400 miles and will be looking to upgrade soon. My question is above, which do I get? The insurance and tax (Ireland) are the same for both (give or take a few €) so it comes down to real world MPG for me. I'm ~20 yo with 1.5 years NCB as a named driver. Insurance works out at about €1,350 for the year, which is actually less than my current Punto.
I drive about 80 miles a day to and from college. 10% back roads, 40% main roads (50 mph) and 50% motorway (60-75 mph)
Is there much in the difference between economy in the two cars? Obviously, I'd prefer a T-Jet for the extra oomph, but couldn't afford to run it if it's a guzzler!
I currently manage about 40mpg in my Punto, and I don't hang around at junctions or lights etc....
Both cars seem to cost around about the same so MPG wins really.
Cheers, aido1196
