Are there any small hot estates?
I am currently driving a Skoda Fabia 62-plate 1.4 TSI vRS Estate with the CTHE engine that I have had for about a year. It has done about 30k miles from new. I am looking to replace it with something that has similar engine size and performance and I cannot find anything to match it in today's market (sub £15k). Do you have any recommendations with similar performance, preferably an estate?

My recommendation about this car is to get shot of it as fast as you can before the engine fails. Replace with a Fiesta ST or the not-quite-as-good Polo 1.8 GTi. No hot little estates.

Great performance from buzzy 1.4 TSI engine. Very precise in corners. Firm but forgiving ride. Nicely weighted steering. Impressively economical.

Exceptional road handling. 1.6 Ecoboost engine has lots of eager shove. Practical and comfortable cabin. One of the best hot hatches money can buy.

Vastly improved from 2015 with 1.8 turbo engine. Snappy manual gearbox. Fun handling. Easy to live with. Three or five-door.
