I drive a 2005 Skoda Fabia VRS TDI 130 that I love, but it's done nearly 100,000 miles and I'm wondering if now is the time to trade it in before things start to go wrong. Living on my own, I need a reliable car, and one that doesn't need to spend more than the minimum time at the garage. I'm now told I would do better to have a petrol engine rather than diesel. I would have replaced it with another Skoda, but the 1.6 Fabia I tried seemed a really 'soft' drive and I didn't like it much. Although I don't drive fast, I like the acceleration that my Fabia has, and its feeling of solidity. Can you suggest some small hatchbacks for me to look at?
