Exterior
I love the front look of the car. And the Fog light adds a better look to it. However, the back doesnt seem to be much pleasing. But still i'm ok with it.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
The interior quality is really good and i just love it. There could have been chrome plating in the steering wheel in elegance model as laura to add a richer look. Comfort is good and rear space is fine even for a 6 ft tall guy. Boot space of 315 litres is great.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Till the vehicle hits 2000 rpm, there is turbo lag initially but is not felt much. Once the vehicle reaches 2000 rpm, the power is really good. This turbo lag can be overcome by constantly racing at low gears and in a couple of months u can feel that the turbo lag will get vanished. Because me doing the same, now my car takes speed below 2000 rpm itself. Gearbox is really awesome. Very smooth. Shifting of gears is really much of ease. The reverse gear engagement by pushing the lever down and then left is good.
Ride Quality & Handling
Ride quality is very good. and the vehicle is very very stable even at speeds of 170kmph. Braking is also perfect. ABS with EBD. Handling at speeds is also easy. At whatever speed you go, u can feel stability unlike other cars. I have hit 180kmph couple of times.
Final Words
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.
Areas of improvement
I already feel the vehicle is the best in its class and has what we need. A little costly but always worth the money.
