Nail in tyre after 3 days :- (
(They are 16" 205x45!!)
Considering the same engine is in the VW Passat and even the Audi A6 consider what it does in this chassis! Very quick 9.6s 0-60 is claimed by Skoda, but its easily around 8.4s and the economy is amazing. I regularly get 52mpg on a very short 12 mile drive. Overall I can't find any bad points even the price makes me smile. A billy bargain in a world of car sharks.
A brilliant choice. This must be such a satisfying car. We have a Fabia 1.9 TDI Estate with 100 bhp and even that completely surprises a lot of people. Several BMW and Jaguar owners have looked stunned when the little Fabia leaves them in the dust! All this and 55 mpg too.
I would love Skoda to fit your 130 bhp version of this engine in an estate model Fabia. Now that would be THE Q-car!
Our enthusiasm for Fabia TDIs has rubbed off on friends. A neighbour now has one and a friend is about to place an order. Perhaps people have finally had enough of over-rated, over-priced, pretentious premium cars.
Having owned Subaru Turbo!, Mercs & 5 Series... honestly say that the VRS IS Fab, especially with its low running costs and modest looks.Basically, enough to detract any car thief! A brilliant package & no joke!
