Exterior The stying is good and the paint quality stands apart. The front grille shows the style.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good legroom and head room for both rear and front passenger. Height adjustable driver seat. AC rear vent and does cool fast.  quality plastics - better than any hatch back. Boot is spacious than any other.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The new fabia with VW engine is really great. Very smooth and 18 kmpl on the highway. THE BRAKING QUALITY IS SUPERB. You can never go wrong.

 

Ride Quality & Handling The handling is precise. AND IN THE HIGHWAYS YOU CAN DOMINATE. Overtaking, controll of the car is really great. you can out beat sedan. Smooth and soft on the bumps. At 120 you dont have to panic neither the car shows any sign.

 

Final Words HAS IT ALL FOR THE PRICE. SAFETY, QUALITY INTERIORS & EXTERIORS, SIIZE, COMFORT. WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT????

 

Areas of improvement Noise. But negligible.

 

has all -size,mileage, comfort,safety, styleengine noise a bit

 

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 skoda

 

Exterior No other car in this segment looks more stately and elegant.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Finest finish of interiors. Simply flawless. I have seen many other cars in this segment but no other car could match up. Boot space is amazing for heavy travellers. Skoda has tried to pack in all possible features of a high end car. It indeed comes very close to that. Height of the vehicle is just right. I am 6ft tall and I fit in very comfortably.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very silent and sleek drive. Its high on fuel consumption though. I guess mileage is 12 and not more. Gear shift is irk free and very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Cool.

Final Words I suggest it all those who are ready to pay a tad more for a great performance. I dont feel like stopping the drive once I start!

Areas of improvement If only somthing could be done to improve its mileage. I know on the kind of weight and performance it has mileage could be a problem.

Smooth gear shift and super easy steering wheelHigh on fuel consumption

 

Exterior Very good and stylish looking car with lot of safety features.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfortable 5 seater and good finish and very large boot when compared similar hatchbacks.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Smooth gear shift and good response but not sure of mileage as it was test drive vehicle.

Ride Quality & Handling Did a test drive on 10k vehicle  and still felt very good. Steering was light and smooth it didnt have roaring ambient noice like Liva has good insulation.

Final Words I test drove Liva, Figo, I10 and but found this is best car given luxury and drive feel. i10 could not fit 5 so we removed from out list and figo was good but was low profile so it was tough to get in / out, also it had medicore finish inside.

Areas of improvement Remote trunk and fuel opening is not available and music system is not available which I feel the former should have been there.

Solid built, Premium interior, luxury feelslow pick up, slight noise

 

Exterior Nothing less than Great!!!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Even interiaor are great but lacks features like multi functional steering wheel, Climate control which are part of OE in the same segment cars. Space is one of the best feature of this car in the segment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The petrol engine is very smooth & noiseless. But the pick-up is very poor compared to contemporaries.  The torque is surprisingly good. You need not change gears often even in full load!! but the speed does'nt pick-up faster!! Gear shift & steering control is fun. I would feel best in class. The fuel Econamy is again poor with ~11 to 12 KPL in city. But highway economy is good upto 19KPL with AC.

Ride Quality & Handling Rides very smooth even in bumpy roas. Excellent handling & breaking even at 160KPH !!!

Final Words Excellent car for tough use & long drives. Its economical too!! For short & city drives it is strainier due to feel of low power & fuel bill bites into pocket too.

Areas of improvement Power, Pick-up, Fuel Economy.

Great Style, Comfort, Handling, Space, Smooth ridingEngine pick-up is very disappointing, Low milage

 

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!

Good Space, Excellent Features, Good Fuel EconomyAbsence of Rear Wiper and Defogger

 

Exterior Satisfactory from sides and front, looks very ugly from rear, as far as desisgned is concerned- its not better than other cars in the segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) FEATURES- Rear door speakers cannot be fitted(they are facing serious electronics problem after fixing rear door speakers as advised by Jia Auto Kolkata and Skoda has to to come-up/advise on this issue till then all Elegance models have to wait for rear speakers), sound quality not satisfactory, rear seats has got less thigh support(i think to show that Fabia has got more leg room).

If u park the car for 4=5 days with hand brake on, brake shoe gets jammed very often and u cannot drive the car,the wheel gets jammed AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF GERMAN ENGINEERING, REAR SEATS ARE NOT 60:40 FOLDABLE.

REAR WASHER/DEFOGGER NOT FITTED EVEN IN TOP VERSIONS

INTERIOR IS NOT VERY EXCITING-IF U COMPARE WITH i20 ASTA, I THINK ITS ONLY UPTO 50% OF THAT, ONLY FIVE BASIC COLORS AVAILABLE: RED, WHITE, BLACK, SILVER AND CAPPUCINO BEIGE, MUSIC SYSTEM GAS GOT NO USB PORT,NO BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox REVERSE GEAR IS NOT USER FRIENDLY, FUEL ECONOMY- VERY BAD, Ride Quality & Handling SATISFACTORY.

Final Words U CANNOT FIT MOST OF THE ACCESSORIES- THE EXCUSE IS WARRANTY WILL NOT BE VALID. REAR SPEAKER CANNOT BE FITTED,REMOTE LOCKING SYSTEM CANNOT BE FITTED(IN CLASSIC AND AMBIENTE MODELS). IF U COMPARE WITH OTHER CARS LIKE- HYUNDAI i20 ASTA, FIAT PUNTO TOP MODEL PETROL- FABIA IS NOWHERE.

Areas of improvement EXTERIOR NEEDS TO IMPROVED A LOT, MORE COLOR VARIANTS ARE REQUIRED, THE COLOR OF EXTERIOR IS JUST MAT FINISH-NOT GLOSSY-EVEN MARUTI CARS ARE HAVING BETTER GLOSS, DOOR LOCKS HAS GOT NO M,ANUAL LOCKING FROM INSIDE(LIKE HAVE IN MARUTI AND HYUNDAI MODELS)- THIS IS REQ FOR SAFETY IF U CARRY KIDS, FUEL ECONOMY NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED, REAR SPEAKERS NOT FITTED IN TOP VARIANT ALSO=MOREOVER IT CANNOT BE FITTED - SOUND QUALITY NOT IMPRESSIVE, MUSIC SYSTEM NOT FITTED WITH USB PORT AND BLUETOOTH.

German engineering needs to be more German.

BOOT SPACE,LOOK FROM FORWARDUGLY LOOK FROM REAR,POOR FUEL ECONOMY

 

Actually if you go through the reviews of any car you will find 50% people are satisfied and others are not. But after having experience of about 4000km with fabia in city on highways and in mountain range I feel the car is not at all bad as many people have written and is absolutely nice to buy if you want some luxury and a car with muscles. But you will have to pay more and I agree there are problems of spare parts thats the area to improve. But overall the car is excellent.

I saw the reviews of i20,i10, swift and polo, jazz etc etc... and i found many people are not satisfied with these also.. The thing is it all depends on your ability to handle the car atleast for fabia I can tell if you handle it properly it is worth for its price. I havnt come across any problems of jamming break paddle.Rather on one occasion i was able to stop the car from 70-75 kmph to 0 within no time and that to without feeling any kinda jerk and stopping of engine and thats what i meant its upto you and not upto car.

Space,Performance,Toughness and StabilityA bit noisy but you can ignore that, Average,should have a bit more pickup

Exterior Superb design.(I love it).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Top notch quality interiors, no rival can come nearby only one can be compared in except POLO. (but still I thinks its better than polo).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Pros- Gd fuel economy City- 15 Highways-19+with a/c, notchy gear box(Butter smooth),

cons- low pick up sudden slow down & bit loud engine noise(but no cabin noise.).

Ride Quality & Handling Makkhan, splendid smooth. Engulfs path-holes like anything.

Final Words Just buy new fabia diesel top end as new version has more power which was the only issue I felt to be taken care of. U will fall in love with the car.

Areas of improvement I think they should add on more goodies in top end version & also they should enter a higher powered diesel version yo outdo the competition. rest everything is near perfect as now they have reduced prices & improved power as well.

Best in terms of quality & everything in the car is of top notch quality.as my Fabia is a older version diesel with 70 bhp lacks in power in lower gears thats it.
