Hi am looking to change my car
I got 5K budget
which one should i buy Polo or Fabia.
I am driving 150 miles per day on M40.
so looking for diesel with low mileage.
Thanks
Fabia or Polo
I do a fair bit of motorway miles in my GTi. While its probably the easiest miles on car I would not reccomend it. At 86mph ish you are revving at 4k. Its pretty high and loud for 150 miles per day, you are way better off with a diesel for that trip. I often drop down to 4th on the motorway and give it some stick but the accelleration at that speed is probably less than a run of the mill Tdi.
BTW: This advice is assuming that you are talking about getting a Polo GTi. We need more details.

Cheapest Fabia vRSes out there won't be below 8k really, as they only first came out in Sept 03. Presuming that you want a PD130 based VAG car, you could also look at the Ibiza 130? They've been made for longer and residuals aren't quite as strong as the vRS, so you might find something around the 7k mark - still above your budget it would seem though.
You might find a PD100 Fabia for nearer your budget, but I don't know much about them. They are tunable though, to around 130, if required. Check out www.briskoda.net for more info/advice on the Fabia.

Fabia or Polo
Thanks for your answers.
I like 2003 onwards polo designs and colours.
I know I cannot get vrs in 5K or 6K.
I like both cars. and I need who can give me
better mileage.
Daily I drive London to Oxford or London to Birmingham.
