skodas are well reliable.

i recently bought a new (3 year old) Ka, simply coz i needed summat reliable, economical to run, cheapness of parts, work, inurance, tax etc.

i looked at all sorts – skoda, VWs, Kas, but in the end this one turned up only 13,000 miles, only one owner, a real steal so . . .

I mourned my old mazda (it had soul) an really didn’t ‘like’ this new one, just not me, but . . . I have to say i’ve been won over, she’s like an old mini, so throw-aroundable, surprisinlgy fast, sticks to the road, runs on air it seems an i’m actually (against expectations) very happy with her, shes ace fun

have a few different ones in mind and judge em on their individual condition as well as their reputation
