I have had my Skoda Fabia Comfort Estate since 2004 - so far it has done 238K miles and has never let me down on any journey. I have had a couple of flat batteries on my driveway. It is not the prettiest vehicle, but as in a marriage, what are looks without reliability, I'm not an aggressive driver, but being a TDI it is nice to know I have the power to accelerate out of harm's way if need be. On longer journeys 60mpg is not an uncommon figure so it is not hard on the pocket in terms of fuel costs. Although smaller than most Estate cars, the boot area with fold down back seats is big, and has been used to help family members move house on a number of occasions. However, being nearly 20 years old and with almost a quarter of a million miles on the clock I think it is time to retire the old girl ( Nelly ) and to replace it with another Skoda Fabia
