New member , 2015 Fabia, 2022 Superb Estate

Hi all, I previously was a Volvo man having had a 2005 2.4 Tdi V70 (recently scrapped under the ULEZ scheme) and also a 2015 V40 that my wife uses as a runaround.

I knew in 2005 that when I bought the V70 that it would be the last diesel car I'd buy (though I did get a 2011Diesel  Caddy Van for my plumbing business), that turned out to be a good deal as under the scrappage scheme I got £7000 for it and duly bought a 1.2 petrol Caddy which I have to this day.

Knowing the strong relationship between VW and Skoda, and liking the petrol van, I bought my daughter the 2015 Fabia which I love, so economical, and I like that those out there with their expensive Polos or Audi A1 are essentially driving the same car!

With the money I got from scrapping the van and the V70, I was almost halfway to getting a Superb estate, which I recently bought, late 2022 model with 5913 miles on the clock.

I was hesitant to get an auto as I'm a dyed in the wool manual driver but I've been told that they're ok nowadays, so that's me.
