Right, so my truck has to go. I'm doing nearly 600 miles a week just to work and back, and with going out and about evenings and weekends that figure rises to nearly 1000 some weeks. My truck gets about 18 - 20 mpg on diesel. Not good. So, I've let it go. Cheap too.
Soooo, what should I replace it with? I do not want to spend more than £1k on the next one (cause I'll probably break it somehow anyway) but I don't know what to get?
At the moment I'm considering either
- Fiat Doblo (postman tw@t van)
- Fiat Multipla
- Subaru Imprezza (probably not the most fuel efficient)
Am I missing anything blindingly obvious that I can get for my measly sum? If I can find something that'll do 40mpg or more then I can stash away an extra £500 a month, maybe more, to put towards a big 4x4 for the weekends (will be purely off-roader, so no tax or MOT & insurance to worry about)
