Categories (out of 5)
Exterior The design & build is simply irresistable and very good. The curves and finish of the exterior body is truly European!
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The quality of interiors is very good and world class. The interiors give a plush feeling and the operating switches are of premium quality.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Engine Superb responsive engine which is quite silent. The car rockets upon a slight pedal push and managing the city traffic is very easy. It just zooms past even before the other vehicle realises!
Fuel Economy In city condition, it is averaging 10 km/l (have just driven 275 kms so far). It is possible that it might get better upon further running.
Gear box World class & is butter smooth!
Ride Quality & Handling Very comfotable ride quality which cruises easily over rough road. The handling is superb. The ABS/EBD and the car dynamics are such that even at 90 km/hr, it takes a precise sharp turn without any problem whatsoever.
Final Words A beauty!
Areas of improvement Missing Rear Washer/Wiper & defogger. Fuel (have done just about 270 kms so far) economy might increase over a period of time. Presently in strictly city conditions, it is coming to 10 km/l, Rear speakers not provided. Parktronic system would help.
Just SuperbFuel economy, no rear washer/wiper & defogger, missing rear speakers

Exterior nice exterior looks much better than the old fabia, with new fog lights too.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) everything is perfect, good space and comfort skoda keeps the name :-)
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox engine is powerful and silent too, in city it gives around 12-13km/l and in highway i have got 17km/l :-D , gears are so smooth
Ride Quality & Handling It wonderful, it just makes you feel in perfect control.
Final Words Just amazing :-)
Areas of improvement I had 1.4 ambi fabia, it was very noisy and the picky was sluggish, i sold it after a year and was waiting for new version....because after driving fabia no other small car will make you feel comfortable, so fabia is the best in luxary in a small car :-) ... the day i came to know that fabia is coming in new varient 1.6...i booked it and got the first car in town :-D and its powerful no noise :-D
Just a little bit, they need to improve better music player :-D though I have installed DVD GPS system :-)
And yes the side rear mirrors should be automatic..
everything is great.nothing

Exterior The exterior are great. The grill has been brought in line with those of Skoda's luxury cars. The head lamps have been changed. Overall very pleasing exteriors.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dual tone interiors, Good leg room at the rear and front, Can fit in 3 persons easily at the back, the ivory coloured interiors add asthetic appeal and give you a feel of the quality material used. The steering wheel is adjustable and glides as smoothly as air. The inbuilt stereo is good and quality of output is nice. Little things like illumination in the glove box and the luggage compartment make you feel a lot comfortable and please you. Very comfortable seat - excellent lumbar support with height adjustable seats.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Silent engine, good pickup, very smooth gearbox and an overall mileage of 14KMPL.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is immaculate and you can control the car as you want. Excellent handling through easy manoeuvring in the traffic.
Final Words Two thumbs up to the VW engine and overall feel of owning an upmarket car. Go for it. Fully recommend and subscribe this master piece.
Areas of improvement None really to specify.

Exterior: Smart looking car with the DRL's (Daytime Running Lamps). Nice chunky tires, love the alloys
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): ABS & dual airbags-excellent. Air-con-excellent (miss ACC but not sorely), good seating comfort, rear seats are spacious. Reach & rake sterring adjustment, driver seat height adjustment, dead pedal-useful for long drives. Boot is massive at 315litres & it's lit too :o). Love the anti-pinch windows, allwindows down operation via remote key fob.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Pleasantly surprised with the 1.6 engine. Designed\tweaked to be frugal. Although it lacks outright punch, it has enough torque in lower revs to go up a slope in 3rd or even 4th gear with the a/c on. Mileage is good at an average of 13kmpl. One thing I noticed about the engine, you cannot feel a single vibration or noise at idle, I had to check the RPM meter to see if the engine was on, nice!! I don't miss the outright acceleration, it's a sensible car. Gearbox is a pleasure to use, gears slot in perfectly without any fuss, however, the reverse gear is a sore, you have to push the lever down & shift up to engage reverse.
Ride Quality & Handling: Has already been discussed to death, fantastic handling, high speed capabilities. Strong braking characteristics, abs, ebd help a lot & inspires confidence. I was blown away by how easy the 1.6 is to drive on the highway, you just point the car & tap the throttle, there is always power on tap.
Final Words: I would still call it a drivers car even though the engine is not setup for performance driving. But honestly, how many times do we get to drive like maniacs. At 6.80lakhs on-road-Pune, it's a steal. The fit & finish is at par with luxury cars & it gives you a sense of driving a big car. The exterior of the car is very deceiving for the amount of space inside.
Areas of improvement : Brighter headlamps, stock one's are not adequate, although the fogs are powerful. Miss electric OVRM's, A.C.C, rear wiper.

Exterior I like to looks of Fabia, though it is subjective. I would appreciate if Skoda adds a rear wiper at this cost. Fuel refilling requires the car key to open the inner lid of the fuel tank. Most petrol pump attendants face difficulty.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) One of the best in Fab. Very comfortable for a small family of 4. good head room and leg room. Rear seats are very good for kids but adults may find it difficult to sit for a long hours. Enough thoughts for holding bottles, glasses, papers, books, cooled glove box etc. The music system is very good in quality. I would appreciate if Skoda gives rear speakers as well.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have made two high way travel of about 400 Kms each. Both times it gave me the average of about 18 Kms (5.4 l/100 Kms) In the city travel (Indirapuram to NOIDA and back) it gives me about 8 to 9 Kms. My learning is that if you drive with accelerator control (less break, less clutch) the efficiency is amazing.
Ride Quality & Handling Easy to handle, swift enough for city traffic, light steering, effective breaks. Shockers are really good.
Final Words A very good car for a small family.
Areas of improvement Engine vibration / Noise after 1000 Kms of running. A rear wiper and rear speaker.

Exterior The front look will make you stand still, alas!! is it laura or fabia. Thats the style. Excellent exteriors, but the rear view is not as captivating as the rest. The always glowing fog lamps whenever you drive,makes you feel like driving a real class sedan.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The ivory interiors with the black dashboard is luring. Excellent leg space for the front passengers, comfortable for the rear ones. you will be tempted to switch off the AC within no time, Yes its so fast in cooling. Thats the SKODA CLASS. And again the comfort. ALSO== SKODA(THE cd player is not as good as the other features offered. Well,Skoda shud not've retreated the rear wipers and defoggers. Steering mounted controls and automatic climate controls are the other features missing froma sedan of much higher price.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The main thing is the excellent driving comfort offered. Believe me. it is worth it for a person who loves driving. The best hatchback u can get(1.6 litre). u just need not shift down ur gears to overtake. in fact u mustn't. 4/5th will take u up there in no time(a bit slow,if u down ur gears to overtake). 4/5th will gv u a comfortable city drive tooo, if u're a gd driver. Got 15.5kmpl for the first 1000kms,on highways and 14.7 as average(all with AC on).
Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride in the offing. I repeat my words. its a drivers vehicle. The 1.6litr one.
Final Words ITS REALLY FAB..FAB AND FABIA, Worth the money spent.
Areas of improvement Some additional features as said earlier. Must change the CD player.
Excellent comfort,good mileage and steady drivecd player not matching with the the other excellent things offered by skodaExterior/Styles

Exterior Good Stylish Looks, However Skoda has to do something with LOGO fixing as it takes only few days for a Skoda Owner to find that logos are missing from the car. May be that can be a USP for a brand but a very costly affair for car owner to maintain.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Extremely good heatures and space !! The Driving Comfort if there with the car. I drove 500 km in a day without experiencing any fatigue !! We are family of 5 and no body felt to be sitting in a hatch back throught out the journey as car is extremely spacious! Good boot space!
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I drove the car at 125 km/hr speed constantly. I never felt that spped sitting inside. Car was extremely stable at the speed. Turning was a very smooth affair even at high speed. The gears are extremely smooth. Everyone who took a ride with my car gave me this responce at first place!
As regards to Fuel economy, after driving a car for 1 month and around 1500 km, I got 17km/ltr on high in my last trip whereas in town I am getting 12-13 km/ltr. The overall driving % is 50-50 when it comes to highway and city. I am getting milage of 14 km/ltr overall!!
Ride Quality & Handling Extremely smooth!
Final Words I would recomend this car for everyone who want to drive with Pride!
Areas of improvement SKODA needs to teach all their dealers about customer handling. Its extremely bad experience while dealing will most of the dealers as they are very arrogant as if they are selling the car designed by themselfs! Skoda needs to bring back features like defogger & rear wipers!
