My daughter, a trainee GP, needs to replace her 1999 Skoda Fabia hand-me-down as it is now beginning to cost more in maintenance. She is nervous about choosing a car herself for the first time. What would you recommend? She wants a practical model, but her husband wants it to be more sporty - is there a compromise? We have bought Skodas in the family for a long time and are happy with them, but don’t want to be stuck in a rut unnecessarily.
