Skoda Fabia 2007
Discussion
The slowest, most boring car I've ever bought.
Less powerful than almost of the motorbikes I've owned.
But having moved to the country the wife who was born and raised in Fulham now has to learn to drive.
A 2 owner car, a little old lady and a friends daughter, results in a 24,600 mile, 13 year old car that is absolutely immaculate.
1.4 petrol automatic.
Delivered to Herefordshire by said friend. He drove the wife up from London in it.
Cost less than the 4 premium tyres I put on my Jag XF Sportbrake the other week.
Registered, taxed and insured it in the wife's name this evening.
Now to sit in the passenger seat and be terrified and maybe have a drive myself and see what it's like........

The wife passed her test last year and WBAC.com are offering £2,315 MORE than I paid for the Fabia over 2 years ago. Time to replace?
It's only cost a couple of rubber drivershaft gaitors.
The best value car I've ever bought!
My Discovery 4 on the other hand.......

The Fabia is a perfect rural/country car - boxy and lots of glass so you can see the corners, tall/upright and quite narrow for nipping down the country lanes. Sits high on fairly narrow tyres so can go most places. And cheap so you don't mind if it is filthy or even gets a scrape. As a bonus they are fairly classless so nobody takes affront. Plus, whilst it has gone up in value so has everything else. I would get rid of the Disco...It's only cost a couple of rubber drivershaft gaitors.
