2001 Skoda Fabia Classic review from Belgium
"Economy, but no more"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ABS-warning lights suggest there is a malfunction. They switch on every now and then.
General comments?
Nice car to drive, driving comfort is better than in a VW Polo, but the interior is very spartan. No luxury at all!
The engine is way too slow. If I have the aircon on, I have difficulties accelerating faster than trucks or large vans.
A very dangerous car for people with an active driving style: rear wheels will easily lose grip in a fast turn.
Very dangerous road behaviour in bumpy turns.
