We unfortunately need to get a new car as our current one is on its last legs. We saw a 2016 Honda we like that ticks every box and is actually affordable but it has a 2.0 litre engine. It says it has the same MPG as our current car and we only use it for 10 minutes nursery runs 3 times a week, 10 mile round trips to town for work 3 days a week, a 80 mile round trip every 2 weeks and a 200 mile round trip every 6 weeks.
I've only ever driven 1.4 and below so I don't know how much more that will cost to fill up and run than a smaller engine. Given the rising fuel costs, would it be madness to get this car or should we wait and hope a smaller engine model comes up?
