Yeah but have you looked at it? I know this is supposed to be a workhorse but a Fabia estate

Fabian estate is 505 litres.. not bad for a small car..its as big if not bigger than many family cars..

Yeah we all know Skoda is VAG. But have you looked at the Fabia, especially in the combi variant.

Mk2 fabia estate should be reserved for senior citizens. Possibly one of the worst looking cars of the 21st century.

TIL Combi = Estate...  Only just realised and I've got one (not Fabia )

it makes sense as a.practical, reliable, spacious car with proven vw.mechanicals..it fits the op's requirements..i.was.24 when i bought my first fabia..each to their own.. it looks like a mini.octavia.estate the mark  1..  if style is important there's the.monte Carlo version

Senior citizens already have the Honda Jazz. They don’t need another car.
