Skoda for me...the modern ones...model wise take your pick they are all ugly and bland nowadays, I am not completely anti Skoda as my first car was a Super Estelle 120l rear engined monster and I had some fun in that.
Not keen on modern Toyota`s either I respect they are well built and reliable but they too are very bland and what happened to the days of the MR2, Supra`s and Celica`s, fair enough there is the GT86 but the power that has it would struggle to work a hair dryer!!
Now I have Skoda Fabia and A Toyota Aygo. I would buy either again in a heartbeat.
The Fabia is the 1.9Tdi. Utterly reliable, perfectly well equipped, cheap to tax, insure and service. 55MPG without effort and 100BHP moves it along well enough for me. I'm on my second and am approaching the 150,000 mile mark in total.
As for the Aygo, well it's a bit slow, but we only use it for short trips. Again, it's very well equipped. Never missed a beat in 5 years, costs as close as nothing to run as makes no difference. Between those two the family has all it needs for motoring, and then the Z4 adds the sparkle.
I'm actually a pretty big Toyota fan. Their range now is a bit sad but I've owned an MR2 and a Corolla Gti, both of which were amongst the best cars I've ever owned.
