we've decided our Civic is too expensive to run. the 2.2 turbo diesel is costing a bomb, due to a bump last year out insurance has doubled, so what 5 door 1.6 diesel car for about 10k?
I'm thinking Skoda Fabia or VW polo, any other to look at?

Spend the rest on booze.
Skoda has an offer on new octavias at the moment- although AVOID the 10k 1.6 one. Its the old dog of a engine not the newer fsi version.
Your insurance will still be high regardless tho because of the bump?!

Seriously though, have you shopped around for insurance?
My car is group 17. The quote went up to £700 for no reason. Spent an hour looking about and now it's £300.
Older Polo with 1.4 TDI - remap to 100bhp, 65MPG.
Zeds where did you look/method used??
I looked on the net. The usual suspects - moneysupermarket etc.
What really surprised me that the old cover (fully comp, protected bonus etc) isn't as good as the new. Less excess too! By quite a bit!
Second hand Mondeo?
yeah I searched for insurance, got 400 quid off original quote...
I can get a new fabia, 1.6 TD for 12k. but of a step down from the civic, but needs must I think.
Have you tried a specialist? I got about 30% off with one just by joining an owners forum...

And a 1.6 will cost just how much less to run?

All you are doing is swapping fuel costs for depreciation, and I doubt you use that much fuel...
Agree with what the others have said.
Im not sure that going from 2.2 to 1.6 will drastically reduce your insurance.
Go on autotrader and find a 1.6 where you can see the reg and then go on DIrect Line etc and get a quote on it. I'd be surprised if its that much cheaper.
hmm, something to think about b r...
