Skoda Octavia/Fabia estates
« on: 03 December 2011, 15:55 »
Talk to me about the diesels. Fabia 1.4TDis and the Octavia the 1.9TDis.

They comfortable and built well inside etc?

Found some bargains up north (so probably stolen) and wondering what they're like as a daily. Insurance is mega cheap!

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

Fabia vrs 1.9tdi 130, six speed box, only group 8 insurance.
Well built, just the dash a little bland. Nothing a little tinkering can't sought.
