The only fault I can find with it is that the paintwork gets scratched really easily. I would recommend paying extra for the lacquer finish if buying new.
This car is superb value for money, being a very well-made, comfortable and spacious (for a small car).
The performance of the 1.2 is slightly disappointing - very slow acceleration (compared to a 1.2 Polo). The fuel consumption is very good and it will cruise happily at 90mph when it finally gets there.
The level of equipment for the money is excellent - I got electric windows, alloy wheels, power steering, CD player, air conditioning, etc. for 8k on the road.
Not great for large adults in the back, but will comfortably carry 3 children or average sized adults in the back.
Do you have any problems with steering and aligment?, my Fabia goes slightly to the left on the road when you go under 80 kph...
