Fabia or other?

My elderly Honda Accord has just passed its MOT, and I think now is the time to get rid, hoping that the 12 month MOT will help resale value!

I am currently looking for a smaller car, that hopefully is less thirsty than a 12 year old 1.8l V-Tec for around £4k.

I quite like the look of the new model (2007 onwards) Skoda Fabia estate, and feel that the 1.2l petrol engine will offer good economy for my 26 mile each way jaunt up and down the M1 on weekdays.

I understand from some of your comments that you are not a fan of said car? I was wondering why that is, and if there are any alternatives I should consider?
