MPG or 0 to 60?

<p>What is more important, 0 to 60 or MPG these days? When choosing a new car what do you look for first?</p>

0 to 60 is a bit artificial ... you'll only really exercise that when you are pulling out of junctions where you know there's people going to be coming up doing 70-80mph with not enough room to see them early.

With power, look more at 40-60, 50-70 type numbers ... Not had opportunity to do overtakes in my CT yet but with the Focus ST, I'd be able to go 50-70 before getting level with the nose of the person I was overtaking ... Hoping for similar with CVT kickdown + Motor assist.

MPG is good too. But think of where you're driving most : Hybrid -> town, Diesel -> motorway

PS Comfort or Speed. I swap between those when I get cars. Currently on Comfort having got immediately bored with Speed Car 2 after Speed Car 1 (Puma -> ST) :lol:

Performance for me, and looks. Running costs come way below that, especially now I don't do the kind of mileages I used to. I've had relative gas guzzlers for years and doing 30K plus miles a year. Now I'm down to 7K or 8K a year, everything seems cheap on the fuel front, despite prices what they are.
