Honda Civic<\/p><\/div>\n


\nTired of escalating fuel costs and looking for a super economical hatchback? Geraldine Herbert selects five of the most fuel efficient around. <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n


\nHonda Civic 1.6 i-DTEC<\/b><\/p>\n

Engine:<\/b> 1.6 i-DTEC<\/p>\n

Fuel:<\/b> Diesel<\/p>\n

CO<\/b>2:<\/b> 94 g\/km<\/p>\n

Performance: <\/b>78.5 mpg \/ 3.6 litres per 100 kms<\/p>\n

Price:<\/b> \u20ac23,975<\/p>\n

We Say: <\/b>Still light years ahead of the competition in terms of styling, there is a lot to like about the new Civic. With its spaceship styling, excellent fuel economy and roomy interior, it deserves to do well.<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Volvo V40 D2 Manual<\/b><\/p>\n

Engine:<\/b> 1.6<\/p>\n

Fuel: <\/b>Diesel<\/b><\/p>\n

CO<\/b>2:<\/b> 96 g\/km<\/p>\n

Performance:<\/b> 76.3 mpg \/ 3.7 litres per 100 kms<\/p>\n

Price:<\/b> \u20ac29,845<\/p>\n

We Say: <\/b>With stunning looks, delicious interior and incredible technology, the V40 has the potential to change your view of Volvo forever. On the downside, prices are high and rivals offer better overall value.<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

VW Golf BlueMotion 1.6 TDI 5dr<\/b><\/p>\n

Engine:<\/b> 1.6 TDi<\/p>\n

Fuel:<\/b> Diesel<\/p>\n

CO<\/b>2:<\/b> 98 g\/km<\/p>\n

Performance:<\/b> 74 mpg\/ 3.8 litres per 100 kms<\/p>\n

Price:<\/b> \u20ac23,485<\/p>\n

We Say: <\/b>The Mk7 Golf is a refined, smarter and polished version of its predecessor. Thirty-eight years and 29 million cars later, the seventh generation Golf is the car by which all other hatchbacks should be measured.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"VW<\/a>

VW Golf<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lexus CT 200H Eco<\/b><\/p>\n

Engine:<\/b> Petrol \/ Electric Hybrid<\/p>\n

Fuel:<\/b> Petrol<\/p>\n

CO<\/b>2:<\/b> 87 g\/km<\/p>\n

Performance:<\/b> 74 mpg\/ 3.8 litres per 100 kms<\/p>\n

Price:<\/b> \u20ac29,575<\/p>\n

We Say: <\/b>Nicely designed both inside and out but on the road it drives too like the Prius to make it serious contender and even when the generous kit is taken into consideration is it still pricey.<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Toyota Auris Hybrid<\/b><\/p>\n

Engine:<\/b> Petrol \/ Electric Hybrid<\/p>\n

Fuel:<\/b> Petrol<\/p>\n

CO<\/b>2:<\/b> 91 g\/km<\/p>\n

Performance:<\/b> 72.4 mpg\/ 3.9 litres per 100 kms<\/p>\n

Price:<\/b> \u20ac26,460<\/p>\n

We Say: <\/b>Smart, comfortable and reliable, the Auris is the one to opt for if low running and maintenance costs are high on your shopping list. Auris fans will love the new model but we are no convinced it will woo too many new buyers to the marque.<\/p>\n
