What's the 172 Skoda Fabia like?
Hi Shane, thinking of buying a 172 Skoda Fabia Ambition 1.0L Petrol as a 2nd car for a run around for school runs etc for approx 10K. What are your thoughts on it please? Don't know much about Skoda.
Our answer:
Hi Michelle,
That's a really good choice. The Fabia is one of the more spacious superminis around and has a good reputation for dependability. The 1.0-litre petrol engine is perky enough for the sort of driving you've outlined and it should be relatively cheap to run and insure too.
