I suppose we're a bit of a Skoda family. The inlaws run Yeti's,Octavia's of various types and the niece has just bought a Kodiaq. My wife ran a Fabia 1.9 pd comfort for 14 years and  it's probably the best value car we've had. We got it for 6,700 from a car supermarket in 2004 with 12k miles on it and sold it last year for 800 quid and not a lot went wrong with it inbetween.  Anyway, now in need of an estate and wondering whether it is worth dabbling in the later models as I have the impression they may be a bit more delicate and as it will be a a second car to look for as decent a pre dpf model I can find from the limited supply.
