Should we replace our Rover 416 with a Kia Cee'd or Skoda Fabia?

I am thinking of purchasing a new motor prior to my retirement. At present I use an old Rover 416 automatic and having been looking at a Kia Cee'd and Skoda Fabia. Both would probably suit my wife and I, so I would appreciate your views on our choice. My wife has recently had a knee replacement so I believe an automatic would be most appropriate to her needs.

Go for the Cee'd and its seven-year warranty. You can get both petrol and diesel 1.6-litre automatics.
