Have to say it’s very close to fitting the bill. It would probs be known as Nans van😏

Have to hope it works both ways and I get a decent price for our fusion the other thing is the bloody tax, I was all set to go back to a big Volvo till I found out it was over £500 per year😳

I’m still finding my way around the site, is it me or does everybody have to re enter after looking at another page? the remember me doesn’t seem to work🙄

e-Roottoot my wife has an aversion to estates don’t know why cause the fusion is almost one. I thought the Fabian may be a bit short footed and low. I’m currently furloughed and driving an old pool car from work. Be Passat 11 plate. It’s a lovely smooth drive and reasonable access. Are the Passat and Jetta equivalent to the Octavia and rapid?

Good knowledge, is the gearbox replacement a very expensive job?

Thanks e-roottoot, do all skodas use the dry sealed gearbox or the tiptronic? I sorta considered the roomster but I’m not sure about the wheelchair wagon look. the yeti is a favourite of my wife’s but in the current sitiuation we can’t just go have a test drive. it would appear used car sales prices are quite buoyant. Considering we’ve only had 2 cars in the last 14 years I’m finding it hard to get my head around paying 5k + for a ten year old car with 80k on a small engine🙄

Hi guys after 30 yrs of Volvos we changed to a smaller car about 4 yrs ago. My wife drives the car through the week and I drive it at weekend, doing less than 5k per year. she only drives automatics and we currently have a Ford Fusion with the durashift gearbox of which I’m not a fan.( jerky) I suffer with a bad back so low cars with short doors like a 1 series bmw are difficult for me access wise. Looking to spend around 2k but would go to 5k for the right example. In my mind I have Octavia, yeti or rapid TIA

Never owned or even driven a Skoda. this could be my first step

Considering the purchase of our first Skoda. I’m being told that diesel may be a problem as our motoring is mainly short journeys. I like the idea of high mpg and low-zero road tax. What would I need to do at weekend to try and stay problem free (filters) Tia
