2004 Skoda Fabia vRS review from UK and Ireland
"A very costly mistake on my part"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turbo intake pipe came adrift causing breakdown and AA recovery. Since repair the car has been difficult to start and has lumpy performance. Latest breakdown is due to the failure of the engine management system (another AA recovery).
In addition, the interior of the car rattles.
The most unreliable car I've ever had in nearly 30 x years of motoring. Avoid!!
General comments?
Great performance and fuel consumption totally ruined by the car's unreliability.
