Smiles with every mile!

3 years and 31,000 miles on....
This is a good car, period. No faults, no recalls, no dramas.
The estate sadly occupies a motoring niche which won't interest many. Its relatively cheap to run and own. Its comfortable, practical and roomy in its sector. The engine gearbox combo is a hoot, ignore some adverse comments. It can be seriously fast when needed. Oil consumption has significantly dropped, fuel economy, in my hands, has increased (up to 47mpg) over this summer.
The ride is overly firm and its easy to damage the alloys on our atrocious roads. The interior is basic but fully functional. There's no bling or showroom gimmickry. Yes its dull.
Would I buy it again......yes.
Do I regret buying it......definitely not.
Would I recommend it...certainly.
The future.... the new Fabia is around the corner.
