2004 Skoda Fabia vRS review from UK and Ireland
"Skoda should hold their heads high!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems to report after 6 months.
General comments?
Skoda were generous enough to lend me a vRS overnight in an extended test drive. However, you don't need a whole night to know you'll want one of these if you're looking for a performance diesel.
I have owned my Fabia for 6 months now, and can safely say that I totally agree with the other positive reviews on this page.
Everyone who has been lucky enough to have a ride in the car has been stunned.
It's amazing that in this day and age, after several years of ownership from VW, that people still expect a poor car from Skoda. The funniest comment I get from people is "It's just a shame about the badge really isn't it!?". Err, 1. No not really, and 2. If it bothers you that much don't worry, because you won't be able to see it when it's 20 miles ahead of you!!
If I ever spend a better 12k than this, I'll be sure to let you all know.
