Hi ,

I need to replace the focus (v reg) with a oil burner i really dont want a mondeo. The choices are 206 sw 1.4 Hdi 04 reg 1 owner 82,000 miles on the clock full service history £3500

Or a skoda fabia comfort 1.9 Tdi 02 reg 1 owner 91,000 miles on the clock full service history £2800

but which one?

If you MUST get one of them, Skoda...because the 206 SW is lardy and a 1.4 is going to hardly make it move...and it'll also rattle itself to bits.

But there are loads of much better cars about.

Why do you need to replace the focus, have you suddenly gone up to a 100mile daily commute or has the floor rusted through ala flintstones?

And I wouldn't have either choice even if I had lost my sanity and wanted to change from a perfectly good focus.

lol is the skoda a bad car with the 1.9 tdi in it?

No, but it's not exactly a great car with OR without the 1.9TDi in it.

If you're doing 100 miles a day, I'd be wanting something much more substantial than a diesel shopping trolley designed to take Doris to the shops.

Get a car designed to be used on longer journeys.

Its a rather strange list though, there are numerous other cars delivering similar fuel economy. And he's picked the 206 Estate as well :confused:
