here is the review...let me not take credit for it..its written by some gentleman danny.rauf on mouthshut.

read on:

well, virtually everything!!
Cons:
fuel consumption, maybe. tough question!!

the new fabia estate, the latest offering from skoda, is a delight. it provides considerably more space in the interior than other cars in its class. the occupants enjoy more space, the boot has also gained in size. the coupe-like line of the roof and the optical design of the wedge-shaped windows, give it a dynamic appearance. supplied with three petrol and three diesel engines, its well suited for a drive in the city as well as a cross-country trip.
 all the functions are clearly displayed, combined into groups and positioned ergonomically correctly on the dashboard or on the steering column. 

HIGHLIGHTS: three petrol and three diesel engines six-speed automatic transmission with tiptronic function available adjustable steering wheel(in height and length) six airbags for safety of the occupants ABS with brake assistant available projector halogen headlights with curve lighting function electronically controled air conditioning Climatronic integrated six-fold CD changer cruise control navigation system with dynamic trip management

hey nice review!!

anything on the net that says a few bad things too about the car??

because to convince my dad, i need to show him a review that points out a few flaws, or else he will think i myself wrote the review to fool him.

if you can, please help me.

thankyou boss.

you are in college?

well stanley, i can try and look out for some reviews but then you can yourself look at other review sites. try finding some site where there are people outside india. the car has not come here yet. so indians living in india wont write these reviews.

and dont panic, he will buy you the car.

Stanley,

Sons are smarter than fathers & fathers are proud about it - that's how the next generation improves. But fathers aren't fools either - they are experienced & one time have been smarter then their fathers.  Your father will come to know that you have on purpose added a few bad things about the car to make it look as if you haven't written the review.

Stanley, it's ok - I understand.  I said so only in a lighter sense.

The new Skoda Fabia, the "largest" of all small cars, is one of the better things that has happened to men lately. A friend owns one and it's such a lovely-easy-fun car to drive. It makes those basic BMW drivers look very weak indeed on the motorway - and I am not kidding!

Being tailgated too, is no longer a problem.

The new model again represents progress, in particular in the traditional values of the Skoda brand – spaciousness and value for money.

The serial accessories for this cleverly designed compact car include four airbags, ABS and electrical-hydraulic power steering.

SEARING PERFORMANCE, WHENEVER NEEDED.

how is this one? cant find any review that points out flaws. there are no indian sites which have reviews. found this one on what.car.uk.

stanley, i guess this is a better one. although, neither of the reviews point out negatives.

infact, the review that i posted points out one in the 'pros and cons' part. this review is written by some fabia fan like the rest of us.
