i don't find the fabia that great as a bike carrier,
it'll take a bike with the front wheel off but it's tight,
obviously dropping both wheels out it would fit easy, but not really the point every car will.
comparing this to a fiat punto mk2,
the punto seemed a lot easier,
the boot well was wider, just didnt have to worry about what angle the bike went in,
it would just fit (with front wheel off), strange because it feels a smaller car.
re. getting parts for punto, its the same as every other car, in fact second hand/scrap parts are plentiful as there were so many of them.
why is a estate out of the question?
I've got a 306 estate like coffeeking, 1.9 diesel, very slow car,
but insurance group 4, car tax of £130-140-ish. over 40mpg.
easy to drive day 2 day.
