2001 Skoda Fabia Classic review from Greece
"Amazing value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering computer control switch faulty at 20,000 kl' Part expensive 120 Euro.
Paint faults starting to show.
Door sills mark very easily.
Small leak from water hose.
General comments?
Wonderful value for money. Only car with Cruise Control and Climate Control for 11,000 Euro.
Very quiet and comfortable. Road holding and cornering very good.
Last July we drove 1100 Kl', from Germany through France to London in one day. We arriver very relaxed and fresh.
Eight valve engine has very poor take off power, sixteen valve engine much better. At the time we bought the car, only the eight valve was available with the dark gray interior. Looks great with white body and dark windows.
Many other cars seem very uncomfortable after Fabia.
