Hello, I'm thinking of a second car needed for the household and the budget is limited; I'm looking at Fabias from around 2004, there are 1.2 and 1.4 petrols and 1.4 TDIs, which of these is the most trouble-free

4 repliesWe have a 2006 Fabia, automatic, 1.4 petrol - I think it's a torque-converter, 3-speed, solid.
Translated from TurkishI'm thinking manual.
Translated from TurkishThe 1.4 TDI won't disappoint you. But if you're only ever going to drive very short distances, diesel doesn't make sense either. The 1.2 and 1.4 non-turbo engines are naturally aspirated. On hills, or with 4-5 people on board, the car struggles.
Translated from TurkishThe 1.4 petrol would be my preference — it doesn't annoy you, doesn't cause problems.
