      Fabia is a car with special features. It comes with a gr8 build quality and the car really looks good. Comfort and features is like a sedan and no discomfort at all while driving. In this segment this is only car with rear AC.

      Comfortable and Study ride on highways while driving @ 130kmph, Rear AC vent.

      I am very happy with my desicion for buying this car. Its cool ride. No maintenence. Value for money.
      The fabric finish inside the interiors, the solid buit, very good Boot and Leg room. The height and Pull adjustable steering & SKODA Batch. Above all, I give importance to people who are sitting with me in the car. Their comfort is very importance.

      It is a 3-cylinder engine. But don't forget to see it has DOHC which is always better than SOHC. So this is why the Fabia stands equal in performance to the other 4-cylinder SOHC cars.

      I already feel the vehicle is the best in its class and has what we need. A little costly but always worth the money.

      Good fuel economy, rich interiors, superb build quality, excellent features, very safe, stylishHead light is less powerfull

      1. I had purchased it from Tafe Access in Bangalore. All was fine. But Tafe cheated me on free first year servicing as they had not given me the free service coupon. I had to pay for the services. 2. The ride quality and comfort is very nice. I was looking for a heavy and safe car which has speed and power. Fabia met with all these requirements. 3. I had to do few modifications, like changing the tyres and headlight for better performance. 4. Also I had done a leather upholstery makeover from Stanley. It added to the charms. 5. Service with Skoda has always been an issue even in 2019. 6. Pros: Excellent built quality, stable, low maintenance, high on safely, value for money. Cons: Low fuel efficiency, Poor after sales service.

      This is a great package and with the features that it packs in its worth the price.

      The Exterior looks are amazing and with cut out lines I like it when compared to Swift which is rounded and gives a feel of largeness. The Interiors are just superb. Everything has been well thought of which makes it all the more appreciated.

      The drive feel is truly superb.The car just seems to glide over the roads.The storage compartments were functional.The multitrip computer was quite a revelation as it showed how the fuel was expended and what was needed as a driver to maximise on fuel economy.

      The fuel consumption in the city was 16km/l which was better than what they had told me (14 km/l)

      It has been 3 weeks and I have been thoroughly satisfied with its performance till now.

      Good fuel econimy,Stylish interiorsNOise at lower gears

      After purchasing and driving first 1000 kms Fabia 1.2 MPI ambiente I would say "NOTHING COMPARES".  The car spells class and looks that drives you crazy. After driving Octavia for the last five years I was impressed by the quality skoda has built in. Therfore I did not check any cars and simply settled for a smaller Fabia.

      AC chills in no time, rear AC ducts are below fornt seats and very comfortable for passengers sitting at the back seats.

      Interestingly the rear seats in Fabia are more spacious than Octavia.

      The reading lights are provided.

      I would say a good overall product.

       

      seeing is believing1.4 liter MPI engine would have been better.

      Fabia comes with exceptional build quality and this is one striking feature that you will notice right from the moment you test drive a Fabia. It comes with Volkswagon and Audi trademark engine and the first few hundred kilometers that I put in gave me 21 kmpl at 80:20 highway to city driving. The interiors are a pleasure, with rear AC vents (first in the class in India) and et cetera. The features, for sure, are many to bowl you over. The best part is the thud sound with which the door closes, and that no empty metal noise can be heard at all. The door is so hefty and heavy (again an epitome of the highest build quality) that you will instantly be in awe about the vehicle. The safety features are first of the kind in this segment and the parktronic display, computerised displays add to that x-factor. The vehicle zooms past at 35 kmph in 2nd gear with no vibrations,  and up to 70 kmph can be achieved in the third gear without feeling abrupt about it. Even when you are only at 1000 rpm and say in the 4th gear, the car gives no experience of zerks whatsoever. It has heating coils in the external mirrors, which means that the driver need not bother about wiping them in the rainy season. When you look at the car, you can understand that how every minute detail has been taken care of. Behind the bumper comes a solid metal support and in the case of any accident -- it is an added protection plus that if the accident is minor then --- instead of replacing the bumper, we can just get it dented.
       
      The cons
       
      - It is for driving pleasure, the electric sun roof is a fashion statement. Howmuch will the conventional Indian customer embrace the car when the luxury hatchback is priced at 8 lacs (when Tata, Maruti, GM and even Hyundai will give you sedans in this price) is a million dollar question?
      - The diesel engine is noisy, but we do not feel it from inside. From the outside, when you ignite the engine, it for sure makes noise
      - I experienced no big turbo lag whatsoever as people often complain with diesel engines. On Indian roads, even if there is any, it hardly matters.
       
       
      But, for someone who enjoys driving-self and wants to live the pleasure of European driving, this car is a little wonder. It has just about 300 L bootspace and the legroom is adequate. For me, it is more of a highly personal car than a traditional Indian family car. 'You drive it for the sake of it' ---- Fabia delivers to these set of customers. Perhaps, only the highly rated minicooper can take a Fabia Elegance on for a competition in the premium hatchback class. Buy it if you are not very cost conscious.....otherwise, there are other conventional options...
       
       
       
      20 plus KMPL with 80:20 highway:city driving, interiors and build quality are top classDiesel engine is noisy -- but you can hear it from the outside and not inside the car

      Fabia is beautiful, Stylish & has a great pickup. Its driving experience is un parallelled in the cars of this category. It is a bit costly but feeling the pride of owning a Skoda brand and being ahead on the road with un parallelled safety offsets the cost factor. If we add the safety and other features of skoda to other cars, the prices will match. Thus I can safely say that other cars in the category are cheaper at the cost of safety of the driver and his family. My recommendation:- Just go & buy the car if you love your family.

       

      Very Good Style, Colours & Safety features.Rear side less spacious

      I am for petrol cars only as the soft sound and better comfort in a car ride is my priority.

      Having searched the market among all hatchback cars, I found the skoda fabia to be the very best in terms of comfort, the size, in that it is ideal for both the man and the wife of a home to drive the car with easy manourebility in the city and congested areas.

      But with so many technical comfort features you have to be a good driver to maintain it as the gear shifts though easy is very sensitive - changes must be done immediately according to the speed of the car.

      But as usual the dealers in India are not fully knowledgeable of the tecnical specs and you may have to contact Skoda H.O. at Aurangabad for details- high beam light specs, engine detailed spec etc.I have recently bought the car this month and am yet to evaluate its mileage.

      Overall it is indeed a good car and caution is only on the care you have to take  when on real potholed indian roads.

      very good comfort, reasonable style.For its price some external features like more choice of color, designer alloy, better grill design

      I am very much satisfied with the car, In my daily busy schedule I found the car very comfortable. It not only adds to my style also is like a small masterpiece of Skoda owned by me. It offers me good space in cabin and boot and is just like fully automatic, i generally do not need to worry about driver's seating adjustments, safety arrangements, and other driving essential adjustments. Last but not the least I also now need not to worry to keep my Beer CAN chilled, I can do it in my dashboard itself. iI just fell in love with it.

      Good style, comfort, value for moneySome function like seat bending is manual which should be less painful

      I have the car for last 6 months and have really enjoyed the experience of driving such a good car.

      I have driven 4500 kms till date and in both highways and congested areas alike. Good fuel economy of 16 kms with combined long /short distances and no problem till date.

      However, it would help the user, if the operating manual highlights the features for each variant ,instead of giving a generalised manual.

      Please give your indian e mail address for any clarifications or grievence redressal

      Superb performance,styling ,comfort, good fuel economy and sturdiness. It is a marvel of engineeringThe car is outpriced and many customers shy away on that ground. No extended warranty available

       I had bought a Skoda Fabia Elegance 1.4 MPI on 09th May 2008.
      Just after 10 days on the road the Car had started giving trouble. Its Engine suddenly STOPS after a drive of 60-70 KMs on the middle of the road ( which is a very very dangerous thing ). Then it does not start immediately. It has to be pulled off the road and starts again only after 10-15 mins.

      It was immediately taken to Dealer / Workshop in Dehradun ( since I stay in Rishikesh ). They could not make out anything even after consulting their Aurangabad and Delhi Offices.
      The car was then taken to the workshop of Sai Automobiles, Delhi , twice. They simply cleaned the fuel filter and assured that there wont be any problem now.
      Even after following up with Skoda Auto for the past one Year, still there is no solution to my problem. I have paid a huge amount of money to them, and they are taking us for a ride. Skoda Customer Care is the Worst Possible I have ever seen, they simply Mislead the Customers. Horrible experience with Skoda. Skoda is simply cheating their Indian Customers by selling defective producs.
