After many type-r's,gti's etc i finally got myself a fabia estate, the greenline version, only 1.2 diesel, its boring as hell but i must say it does everything i ask of it, for 12 grand i cant complain, it takes the kayak on the roof, pulls the bike on a trailer, takes the dogs in comfort and has a decent sized boot, plus i dont pay road tax.
claimed mpg figures are well off though, i get nowhere near the supposed 83mpg, in reality, thrashing it about town and local areas i can easy get 50mpg, on more open roads about 66 to 69mpg and motorways at 80'ish about 63mpg.
had it a year and a half now, only 1 problem with the exhaust sensor acting up, skoda customer service really good.
If i wanna go fast i jump on the bike!

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
