Hello everyone,

I ended up signing up on this forum after coming it across a few times.

My car is a 1.4 petrol-engined VW Polo. Sooner or later I'll have to get a new one but so far I'm doing some research on which one can be the next candidate.

I know for sure I don't want to buy a diesel car but electric cars are too expensive for me and I can't make as many kilometres as I need to a day so as to try to buy a cheap or small one.

My current fuel logs are quite good car wise. In the motorway, never faster than 120km/h, I'm getting 5.2 or 5.5 l/100km. So around 54 to 50 UK mpg / 45 to 42 US mpg.

I always fill up the fuel tank, around 40 litres, and I'm doing around 675 to 700km.

Hope to learn a lot and help if possible.
