If your after cheaper running costs, diesels are the way forward unless you can afford brand new cars. I have an old r reg astra with the 1.7td izusu engine in will do 50mpg on a steady run. But not only that insurance is cheap, just as quick as a 1.2 petrol and even better I run mine on a mix of diesel and veg oil. I'd recommend the 1.25 zetec fiesta tho not bad little cars basic but if its gotta be petrol there not bad

Okay guys, this is getting slightly tense... Name me a good, nice looking, economical car, which will also be cheap on insurance... I like CLEAN cars, not rusty old square shapped ones if that helps...

I gave you a unbiased opinion (from actual experience with them) they are good cars and I doubt you will have any major problems with them.
Whats your budget?

If I remember correctly the you drive a 1.8 petrol 306? Go for the 306 HDI. You're already used to the car so you know it, you can pick up really clean ones up to about 2001 reg and they are great on fuel. Get a remap and you're sorted.

Insurance group 5, which will be lower than yours is now too.
