Another Skoda fabia estate fan here. I have a 2001 1.4 8V petrol one with 168 000 miles on the clock & still my daily driver, plus an elderly LR Defender 200 series station wagon that just does haulage so not used that much (104 000 miles) It used to haul the whole family about but they're all growed up now. Two of the children have Skoda fabia estates as well, another 1.4 but 16v & a 1.9TDI. I love 'em!

Ford Australia /NZ sold a batch of new Mustangs apparently without certain normally standard safety equipment hence Euro NCAP rating of "two star":facepalm::whistle: Even for the same year , the "imports" from North America even in LHD would have been at least "four star":rolleyes:
I apologise in advance for the substandard colloquial language used by this decendant of convicts, its just not acceptable.:D:LOL::LOL::LOL:

My car is an 09 CRV ctdi with about 82k miles.
The Mrs has an 09 A3 1.9 TDI with about 85k miles.
Both have been very reliable so far, hopefully they'll remain that way with regular servicing.
Obviously as an old ex ag engineer niether are working farm vehicles as most on here are though.
The car pictured is my 1973 Triumph 2000 we use for attending classic car shows during the summer.
It's only done 28k miles believe it or not.

you will not be happy with the new fuel prices with that truck.
but they were a good truck ,it went every where .
i just made sure the tank was full before i went to the run off
1, I don't calculate how much petrol it uses:rolleyes:( They never came out with a 5 speed in petrol ,NZ new:banghead:)
2,It doesn't get used on farm much unless its "dry".
3, Its never got more than half a tank as it really needs a replacement fuel tank:whistle:
4, A number of people have indicated interest in it if is for sale.....
5, If the dealer principal complains that I've not brought a new ute, I can remind him his father sold us the utes when they were new!!!:sneaky::D
