Hi gang,

As title, just joined as am thinking about upgrading current Fiesta to an this spring.

I got a Zetec Blue 1.25 in June '08 for the 80 mile round trip to work as they do 40-45mpg (ish). Had it two and a half years and its a nice little car but it is tediously slow. I know you don't buy an for great mpg and I know I'm sounding like an old git, but is mid 30's mpg achievable on a run?

Scott's kindly mentioned insurance / tyres etc as larger costs to consider, but is there anything else to be concerned about? Servicing intervals the same as my car?

Thanks in advance.
