You can pick up a used Skoda Fabia for a few hundred pounds, which is an amazing deal. Part of the Volkwagen Group, Skoda now builds first-rate cars, and the used Skoda Fabia is basically a Volkwagen Polo, but better. The ride on the Fabia is excellent, with superb use of interior space and bulletproof build quality. Engines come in 1.0-litre petrol, two 1.2 petrols with 54bhp and 64bhp, the 75bhp and 100bhp 1.4s, and a 2.0 petrol. The 1.2 just about wins out, for delivering 47mpg. The best diesel is the 100bhp 1.9 TDI, which returns 56.5mpg.
For further cash-saving, the entry-level Classic trim is fine, with air-con and CD player. Yet more pennies can be saved on insurance, with the 1.2 falling in group 1, and most other models in just groups 2 to 6. Skoda also depreciates faster than other VW Group cars, so used prices are sensational. All in all, your used Skoda Fabia should give you years of reliable, budget motoring that few other marques can match.
