i took a test drive of fabia.over all car is good.but  the main problem with the car is that the diessel engine is very noisy.u can even hear the sound of diessel engine inside the cabin and that sound is very irretating.only way to avoid the sound is to turn on cd player ( which the skoda  cochin sales man did to hide the sound of engine from me .clever man.).after paying 8 lacks all u get is a noisy underpowered dissel engine.

    Skoda killed all expectations, or media boomed a lot about Fabis and got boomeranged

    NCR dealers are not telling the prices of Petrol models. Does any one know? After the test drive, I also felt that the diesel engine is underpowered and noisy, hence a big disappointment from Skoda. Given the quality of interiors and Skoda's built quality, I personally feel that the petrol version should be better, if priced correctly. So far, I have shortlisted Cheverlot Avea U-VA (aganist petrol versions of Swift and Getz Prime). Cabin quieteness and ride quality are important to me.

    i own a uva ls. the engine is not underpowered. without ac its pretty fast. one thing is that after 5000 km its very free after the first service. before the purchase i too was feeling the same but its not actually. from afordability and average point with comfort ride build its a great pakage. moreover its have future. its upgrade is ready already launched in korea as gentra x. majorly same only bumper, lights some interiors etc change. but its worthy. check yourself.

    FABIA IS REALLY FABOLOUS. paying 8 laks for small car really pains but what get is really INCREDIBLE. more you drive it much you will love it. as you drive it 100 and more you will realise the real pleasure.it easily touches 150 and can even go through 190+ ND STILL GRAET MILAGE. BELIEVE ME ITS TRUE.and afterall this is the easiest way to be a part of internationally praised brand.
