Clutch seems to be sticking.
Rear door handle came off.
Often smells of fuel.
Very good quality car, this is the only car that I have owned that does not rattle or creak (Mercedes, Renault, Fiat, SAAB - all new cars, all poor quality).
Paint seems to be quite thin.
The 1.4 engine is quite slow.
Very quiet car at all speeds.
Great styling, lots of room.
Since I wrote this review I have got rid of this car due to three fuel leaks which various dealers cannot seem to fix, the last time it was off the road for five days - it was fine for a day then it started leaking again.
I have bought a new Renault Megane.
I would not recomend Skoda, their dealers or Skoda UK to anybody.
My Fabia 1.4 16v has a problem starting when the engine is hot. Garage cannot find the fault. Cold starting is not a problem. The car now runs with a cooler engine temperature, ie the gauge shows that the needle is not in the middle, but towards cold. help please.
