Skoda Octavia/Fabia estates

[Bellend]

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.

Cheap quotes, until you hit the VRS button, any of the three VRS listed, 130 is the cheapest but another 800 quid over the Classic TDI.

I've been looking at the Octavia Estate recently. The newer shape looks good, and you get loads for your money. You can even get a VRS 170TDI for less that 5-6k for an 06 plate.
Definitely one for my shopping list.

Skoda also just came top for customer satisfaction and reliability in the Which? magazine annual car survey and that includes cars upto 5yrs old.

Gonna go for something like an 01 Derv Octavia estate then save up for April and get a TDI Leon.

If it's only to last till April, why bother?
Unless your current car has died, why not just stick with it and save the pennies to get the Leon in April?

top gear! get a volvo estate  na only kidding get a nova if you can find one cheap enough they are the best fun you can have in a small hatch (better than any golf) and unfortunately expensive to buy now but cheap to run  weigh the odds up over the year

Carless other then the Golf which is rediculous to insure.

[Bellend]

Forget that!

For what the Micra went for I can buy and insure for the year (which means not having to pay rediculous inflated monthly prices) a Cinquencento!

6 months tax & MOT 66K £250.

Sorted!

It's Italian, it'll fall apart before the tax runs out.

My mates just got a "Sporting" suprisingly nippy little thing. I love driving it. 

Might push that extra 80 quids insurance and get a 1.1 Sporting.

Just changed the details to 17 year old just passed test. 5782.
