Do you recommend the Skoda Fabia Estate?

I am thinking of buying a used Skoda Fabia Estate. It's a 1.4TSI 180PS, (2012 or 2013 model) with 22,000 miles on the clock. The dealer wants £8495. It has a bit of go about it and should be large enough to carry my golf clubs. Do you recommend this model?

Avoid like the plague. These TwinCharger engines have been a disaster and if it has not happened to this one it will. Reviewed here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/skoda/fabia-vrs-2010/
