A little confused about Fabia

Through these reviews on Fabia I have read some great comments by those who are not professional reviewers but are those who own the cars and are possessed by the machine. These reviews, I am sure, shape comments of those who are yet to buy these machines for their own personal consumption.

I am keen to buy a Fabia and I am convinced it is a good car, well built, nicely proportioned, backed by German engineering, and all that..Considering I drive more than 100 kilometres a day, I have no option but to buy a car that runs on deisel and I have therefore zeroed in on the 1.4L deisel version for even after running on deisel it has the essential peppiness!!

May I please ask all of you owning Fabia (whether petrol or deisel versions) the following questions:

Is it REALLY worth the price?

Are comparisons with other cars like Suzuki Swift, Hyundai I20 (a magazine even compared it with I10 declaring I10 the winner, that was shocking!!), Honda Jazz, Fiat Grande Punto....justified?

Considering it is, and there a few visible on the road now, not as many as one would expect them to be, then why not this car is a roaring success? I remember, there was a mad rush during booking even before car came out in the market...but then it has slowed down, sales are not as spirited....

I have asked this to Skoda dealers but no one has given a convincing argument.

Anyways, I expect some replies at least to begin with and this may trigger another level of discussions...

I may thank you all in advance for carving out time to write something for me in particular as well as for general readership.
