Hey hello hoi

 

Bought my first Skoda, and its a station/combi/estate.

 

In 2009 we bought daihatsu cuore from the dealer.

We had it untill 3 months ago and it had +-360.000km on it.

 

Now we have a little me, 12 weeks old son.

So the cuore has not alot of space within the car.

Time for a new car.

We spend around 2 months searching for a new car.

Our top 5 cars; 

Skoda fabia mk1 or mk2 5door hatchback

Opel astra 2008/2012 5door hatchback

Mitsubishi colt 2008/2012 5door hatchback 

Ford fiesta 2008/2012 5door

Honda jazz 2008/2012 5door

 

They needed to have 5 option to be buyable.

130.000km or less

€4500 or less

Airconditioning 

Cruisecontrol

Isofix for the babyseats

 

My wifey found me a colt at this car occasions shop.

After looking at it, it was a little more than our budget had to offer.

It was on a sunday so we looked around to soo other cars and found this fabia combi.

For €3800, 99.745km, cruisectrl, Airconditioning and isofix.

At first i thought, daimnnn am i at this part of life that i am buying a combi/station/estate?

After  first testdrive, i felt good about the 1.4 acceleration.

But also having in mind that a am 203cm tall and my knee was right in between of the radio and streringwheel.

Not a good thing to have a painfull knee while riding..

Second testdrive i found out the setup of the steringwheel and driverseat could be changed. What a lifesaver, what a space!!

 

So we wanted to buy thos 2007 skoda fabia combi.

Im not a good nagotiator so that part was for my wifey!

 

Why this forum?

I am member to learn more about this car and how i can improve the car and handling.

 

Hope to learn alot!

 

Greetings P2debie
