If you're looking to save money then the new class of sub-100g/km CO2 cars could be your answer. Many manufacturers are now producing new, ultra-efficient, road-tax eliminating versions of their best-selling models, such as the Ford Fiesta Econetic and Volkswagen Polo Bluemotion. These cars are designed to be economical without sacrificing power, comfort or practicality.
And with such a wide range of cars on the market, you don't have to compromise on space. Popular family hatchbacks like the Volkswagen Golf, Audi A3 and Toyota Prius are available with from as little as 89g/km of CO2.
And a 'greener' car needn't cost the earth. Seat is leading the charge with hard cash discounts off its most popular models.
The Spanish carmaker is offering buyers up to £2,000 off the price of its new ultra-efficient Leon, Ibiza and Altea XL Ecomotive models during June. Seat claims that over three years of ownership, you could save a further £2,352.
