Full Review

Just 15 days ago i bought the white one amby intial it gave me 17.5 in city and now it increased to 18.5 city on highway its amazing to 22+ ,really the wonder when i booked many friends comment abt the noisy engine but when we ride it craked the comments ,i'been driving swift 2yrs and zen for 4 yrs really it broke the performance which i've already with them (55000-swift,125000 in zen)even i had the comment that diesel engine will have discomfort and very often we get tired and so on,at a stretch i went 350 kms i didn't feel any discomfort or any type of vibration-thanks for the VW pd engine each and everything is designed to suit indian style and riding comfort-till date i've crossed 1400kms very peacefully,i found the breaking efficiency also take care the following cars,powerful brakes,turning radius is very sharp and has no whobling ,i found the C.I wheels are lighter and may damage .

warning alerts when we forget to release the hand break,reserve diesel and so on,Really skoda never let me down to feel me.thanks for the people who worked hard (price is high )and all other aspects really worth .thanks for millinium motor engineers for their greater support even after their sales.

audio not upto the mark,enough leg room behind  seats and only 4 can comfortably sit (big drawback)

if people can afford the price then there r no option .thanks for many people who helped me in their reviews also very useful in selecting the vehicle.

again in ghat roads it over took all petrol vehicle's it gained at 14km/lit

anybody can imagine about the cost of clutch plats, which would be replaced after 50000 km positively 60000/= rs

hey guys i have booked my fabia ambiente 1.4 tdi!!!!!!!!!just want to know how can i improve my cars mileage in city ??????????what would be the pressures of the tyres?????

Satya on 28 Apr, 2009 at 04:50 PM

the road vision ,seating position,city driving and high way driving it gives better mileage,a clear sweep with other vehicles,only at 2000rpm it accelerates and gives power so for slow driving peoples a mileage city 18.8kmpl and highway 20.5kmpl with ordinary diesel,if u raise the rpm more it drops to 16kmpl so it's u to decide ,tyres only after 40000kms ,per day up&down 750kms/day no body pain suspension are very good built,so u goahead with this vehicle without any doubt,1.4 petrol and diesel

Dear siva ,asish,nages kindly note that after 1 year 32000km running really i'm very much satisfied with skoda each and every thing very finely tuned and issued to the customer really i'm out of inferior plastic of swift ,body very good stability even at 160km speed i found better road grip ,i'm writing this only after my 12 months experience with this skoda,superior mileage very fine tuned engine only the noise but all the things are really worthy than any other brand in hatch backs,skoda ahea

Hi I am planning to buy a new Hatchback can some one assist me on selecting between these 3 cars Hyundai I 20, Skoda Fabia 1.2 Ambient, Swift vdi with ABS

Jignesh on 03 Apr, 2009 at 08:25 AM

Forgot to add, if you have the budget to go a little beyond 6L, also look at the Getz CRDi.

Jignesh on 03 Apr, 2009 at 08:22 AM

@ Ashish With that amount of daily driving you definately want a diesel. I would vote for the Swift D. That engine is far more refined than Fabia's. If you were doing less than 50 km per day, I would have suggested Fabia Petrol.

Ashish on 31 Mar, 2009 at 11:56 PM

Hi Satya, I was reading your comments and your reply on queries. Hope you can help m as well. I am planning to buy new car - I drive around 75-85 Km per day - Budget @ 5 - 6 L - Fuel economy and Driving comfort most important Which one to go Swift Diesel or Fabia Petol/Diesel Many Thanks
