2001 Skoda Fabia Classic review from Belgium
"Great car, but the turbo diesel seems to be the best choice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine seems to fall out sometimes for something like half a second, and then just goes on, slowing the car down briskly. Dealer couldn't solve this problem yet, car has to go to VW for a check-up.
General comments?
The car suffers from a delay at the throttle: when you put your foot down, it takes a while before the engine reacts, which is annoying when taking off. The diesel models do not suffer this problem.
