Sensible choice, you'll be nicely surprised how little extra the insurance is for a PD over the 1.2 1.9tdi 105ps elegance would be my shout or of course... VRS 😎

Oh my days, you definitely dodged a bullet there. Anything peugeot/renault/citroen is pants (imo) buy French buy twice 🤦🏻‍♂️. However I must say, the cliosport 200 is rather nice looking... Oh no, sorry to hear about the fiat.. Although again "Fix It Again Tomorrow" haha yes I'm somewhat VAG biased these days. But then to be fair any car for free/at friends and family prices is worth a look in. Ah wow, a celebratory glass ***** to that. Mines been with me for 3 years this month and in that time the total sum of parts required for advisory free MOT sheets was £50. Can't grumble at that. Much better than the 2010 bmw 3 series that's cost me £350 in the first few weeks of owning it and with half the mileage... Do have plans to upgrade this year? Or are you building up your no claims discount first?

Ah, mines a November 06 '56. It was a strange one how I came across it to be fair, wasn't even looking for a skoda (it's the first one I've had) but I took it for a test drive and a nice bit of road and instantly I knew.. Not looked back since. You had your fab long? Is it the PD like mine?

Thanks 👍. It's a nice colour imho, especially when treated to a nice polish. What vintage is your fabia?

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I've come to introduce myself. I'm John and I drive a burgundy 2006 octavia ambiente. It's 1.9 in flavour 105ps in spice and 158k in experience. A good solid ol girl, I've joined the group as I'd like some advice on where to go next. She has a firm place in the family, being the longest serving mechanical member and has significant sentimental value, so another motor just won't do. Look forward to chatting with you all 🙂.
