Hi There,
   I am probably one the oldest user of FABIA 1.4 TDI
(This is FABIA - II series in the SKODA Stable) and FABIA in general on this msg. board. Bought it in Feb 08 first week. No problems on any front except that the rear wiper is troubling me a bit. But that is smaller of any of problem and the dealer was willing to rectify it. I have done over 12000 kms so far and have no problem on any account be it ride quality, suspension or fuel economy. The suspension remains solid as new inspite of navigating the potholes and moon surfaces on Delhi roads. No vibrations and no rattling on any component/part/assembly. Still feels like a brand new vehicle compared to another of my car, 4 months older to this one (Verna 1.6 XXi) which has done about 17000 kms.

However to put things in perspective, I used FABIA- I for about 3 years in Germany. Faultless vehicle. Did over 79000 kms on that. Never had a problem. For the people who know the difference between German machines and other machines from various parts of the world the difference lies in the design & manufacturing processes. Japanese are good but to compete on pricing they cut corners. Koreans.......100% value engineering and speaking of Indians less said the better. By the way, this car is a VW Polo V (used that one too for 2 years) inside out for which you probably have to pay about 5 Lacs more for the VW logo. 

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Nick
