Skoda Fabia Estate (2008 - 2014) 1.9 TDI PD Scout 5d (2010/59) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

People don't think its mine, they think someone old should be in it! But its not a very popular model so you don't see many about, and i like that! Kinda 'exclusive'!!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

My mate borrowed it for a weeks mountain biking is Scotland and was really suprised. He thought it was great and he normally drives a Saab. Most people quite like it I think...

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, but I always have a different car.

What are you likely to buy next?

A diesel with cruise control and big enough for 3 kids!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

February 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

I did because the company car tax is very low on this car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Chosen as a company car.

What was the dealer like?

Great to start with, sales very knowledgable and easy to get a test drive. Not too sure with the Service department though...

What's it like to drive?

Fairly comfortable. Handling is OK to for the type of car it is. Cruises fine on the motorway But lets face it, its no sports car...

What's it like to park?

Easy. Small bonnet and vision is fine.

Have you had any problems with the car?

One the whole, its been very good. No mechanically issues, but when I picked the car up the main beam headlights didn't work. Took it back and it took the dealer 10 days to rectify, dash out, the lot! And all it was, was a relay. I'd have thought that should have been one of the first things you'd check?!?!

What's most practical about your car?

Nice big boot for size of car. Easy to collapse the seats down for carting around larger stuff too.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise control, a must have on every car I get from now. Also MP3 stereo.
