Hi I am picking up my first ever Skoda on Friday after p/ex my Toyota Yaris that i have owned from new in 2007. I decided to change as the Yaris was fine for local trips but on a run of over 40 miles i was getting a bit of muscle tightening in my legs due i reckon to the lowness of the driving position and getting older!.On having a test drive in the Fabia i found the car more spacious and also with a higher driving position a lot better....the car i am getting is a one owner 10 plate Fabia 1.9 tdi pd 3 series with all the bits...a lot of car for reasonable money...time will tell i suppose..looking forward to a trip from the south coast up to London this saurday...will keep you posted !!

Welcome to the forum, I'm still waiting for mine to be built, but all the folks on here are very welcoming and help whenever they can.

Hi and welcome aboard.

Welcome to Briskoda

Well i picked my Fabia 1.9 tdi up this morning from my local Skoda dealer in Sway Hampshire and could not have been more pleased with the way i was treated and the car drives and handles a treat...plenty quick enough for me and 50 plus mpg cant be bad (bit of traffic bit of open road...A trip up to London this weekend so will find out a bit more with some motorway miles...First impressions a very nice car.

Well i am very impressed with my skoda !! Up to London bit of running around local and back the next day...computer says 58 mpg....realistic i think 50 plus mpg...proof of the pudding is when i fill up at the pumps....real nice car to drive...plenty of power for me plus comfort...great radio...climate control..wish i had gone for a skoda before. I have owned VW Passat tdi.....VWGolf tdi..Toyota Rav 4 D4D..and the last car a Yaris D4D...value for money the Skoda is a no brainer as far as i am concerned..well pleased.
