Yep, I've been checking out reviews and comments from owners as well. Fortunately the Fabia (especially the later models) seem to be very good on reliability, even with high mileages.
I tried to get a test drive in the "Boy Racer" one last week, but just got voicemail and left them a message. I called them again yesterday, only to find they'd sold it on the weekend.So I called the other showroom...... and they'd sold theirs on the weekend too..!! Oh well, I'm not in a rush, so I'll keep looking.
I’d agree on the “luxobarge” suggestion, although as more towns and cities adopt “compliancy” eg ULEZ, perfectly good cars like your Chrysler and my diesel Vectra will have to be sold, or pay through the nose every day your car is used. It would seem diesels are a big no-no now
have you tried looking at what is called a "Luxobarge".
Don't go there. Great advice unless you live within the catchment area, then what. Either £12.50 every day you use it, sell it, move or have moody plates made up.
Still looking for a car, but I've widened my search to include the Volkswagen Polo and Seat Ibiza because they're effectively the same car, although the VW costs more because of the name and the Seat because it tends to have higher spec...!

A pal has just sold his Seat Leon estate as now needs 4 wheel drive capability. Great car, excellent on diesel. Had three different conversations recently regarding the purchase of new cars, and each had ordered a Seat Arona. In the 60’s it seemed that Seat were the Spanish version of Fiat, but of course are now part of the VAG group of companies.
