2003 Skoda Fabia review from UK and Ireland
"It's a disaster from start to finish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gears grind when going into 3rd or 5th.
Dreadful to start after 60k service, especially now on a cold morning.
Despite numerous alignments, still pulls to the left.
Leaks oil.
Back windscreen washer pipe keeps disconnecting.
Back door central looking failed.
General comments?
Poor handling in my honest opinion.
It's now at the stage that I don't listen to the radio in the car as every journey I make if I listen carefully I can identify yet another noise.
