Loose stabiliser bars leading to rattles in the front end. This problem continues to re-occur.

Speakers cause door panels to rattle.
Leak in the radiator.
Stone chips all over bonnet.

Various rattles and vibrations throughout interior.
Sombre car with poor accelerator response. Alloys collect brake dust eagerly, and steering is light at speed.
Lack of options in the UK which are available on the continent. Possibly due to "cost-cutting" by Skoda UK. Example, xenon head-lamps.
Very disappointed that my ten month old Fabia estate has developed rattles which appear to be externally based - first service is due shortly so will have front stabilizer bars investigated - as per previous reviewer. There are also rattles from the rear which could be down to the hatch ' stops ' requiring adjustment, I also suspect that all suspension mounting points may be a tad loose..
