Hi guys, it's been a while since i've posted in motors!
For the past year or so i have been driving a Fabia vRS which i love to bits. I do a fair few miles for work and so far (touch wood) its been an excellent all rounder for fuel consumption, fun, and reliability.
To be able to put any sort of worthwhile deposit down on a house i have decided to sell it and get a lease car through work (NHS leasing scheme - a lot of my colleagues have cars through it and they are very happy with the cars they have and the amount they pay for them). Unfortunately Skoda have stopped producing the Fabia as a new model is coming out next year or something along those lines, so i need to find a car which is similar in quality/co2 emissions etc that is actually available and not too pricey (around the 16k mark)
So far i have looked at the new Mini Cooper D (60+ MPG), the Honda Civic, and then other, slightly less attractive cars like the Toyota Aygo as the MPG is good and its a reliable little run around, but im trying not to sacrifice too much quality and speed for only a slightly lower monthly deduction from my salary!
So, any suggestions? Main thing really is high MPG, low Co2 emissions and any price lower than £15/16k is better...and not looking for anything very much bigger than the Fabia.
