2001 Skoda Fabia Classic review from UK and Ireland
"It takes a while to fully understand that you own a 'Skoda' it's that good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Recently had a major service including two new front tires and new front brake shoes. £160.00 all in, although not from a skoda dealer. The mechanic I used was very professional with over thirty years of looking after the servicing needs of lease cars.
General comments?
It took a while to get used to gaging the distance one was from the kerb, but once confidence was gained the drive was an absolute pleasure.
Boot access is anoying without use of a key.
Keep within the speed limits and wait for more room when pulling out from a side street to avoid anoying other drivers because you cannot accelerate quick enough.
