After going to number of test drives and research on net, I finally zeroed down to Skoda Fabia 1.2 ambient Here are my views on this car.
Engine: Not so noisy as mentioned in many reviews, even
though it is of 3 cylinder it is equivalent to the performance of Fusion, Swift, Getz.
Pickup: it doesn’t have good pickup at first gear compared to Getz/fusion but if you are an expert driver you can make it.
Drive: You can not make out that you are going in 100KPH, nice road grip, you feel vehicle is sturdy, heavy and comfortable. Can drive at 3rd gear at the speed 15 - 20 KPH, this helps in less gear shift in the traffic. Comfortable at path holes.
Brake: Ambient has Dual rate brake assist which comes in handy at situations.
Ground clearance: 146mm. Even though it is lesser than the Swift/Getz but it has hard suspension to clear the humps. With 5 people in the car makes it difficult to clear the hump and is the same case with any other car.
Space: hatch backs are comfortable four and it meets that width, ample leg space at rear seats. boot space is 300lts good enough for things...
Safety: Airbags for driver and the front passenger seat, it has ABS, Collapsible steering, Side Impact beams and tubeless tyres.
Comfortableness: 2 AC ducts under the front seats for the rear coolness, Aux in near the hand brake can use i-pod easily, not a good audio instrument provided by the company, one touch power windows and a very nice interiors.
Fuel Efficiency: i have no idea about the FE, but after so much of research i found that it gives minimum of 10 Kms/L with full AC.
Nothing comes freely in this world. for a better quality and comfortnes you need to pay for it.
overall Fabia 1.2 ambient is a good hatch back with all the facilites and its worth for the money.
No new car is bad in the market but every car has its pros and cons and Fabia 1.2 ambient has more pros than any other car in its segment.
PS: Fabia has VolksWagen engine but no dealer mentions about this. You can check in the wikipedia. Link is - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skoda_Fabia
