Qulaity car with outstanding design, great car for India

Well, I was looking for a utility diesel car for my daily chores, I was initially looking at buying Fiesta, Verna and Swift. I took test drives all the cars and I decided against buying the Fiesta and Verna as they felt very ordinary though they had good trunk space, fuel economy etc. My next trial was on Swift and Dzire, I liked the ride quality, fuel economy of both the cars, they both were ok cars which would fit my need and budget.

 

I accidentally bumped in the Skoda showroom, had no real idea about Fabia when I did, but when I saw a white Ambiente in the Skoda showrooom, I was blown away by the looks of the car and the car interior design elements.

 

Took a test drive, stepped out of the car with a "I just drove a special car" feeling. This is despite the fact that the car had less pick up compared to the swift but had better drive quality overall. Clearly a superior engine performance once the Turbo kicks in. Center console was slightly messing with my knees, but I found my position (peace) after adjusting the driver seat postions. Skoda sales person gave me a very thorough overview of all the safety features, interior comforts and that clearly showcased the common sense design elements that Skoda has worked on, clearly a plus when compared to the other cars. The gear box was phenomenal, with the gears engaging very delicately and precisely.

 

I wrote a check riteaway for a White 1.4L TDI Elegance (Top of the Line), which also came with a Sunroof apart from other features like ABS, Air bags, Alloy wheels, CD System (Luv that Aux Input), well placed cubby holes, drink holders, Adj arm rest for driver, cool glovebox (How innovative) & Other..

 

I have driven it for 2500kms now and I have to say this is one special car. I also drove other cars I mentioned above, esp Swift after I bought the fabia. Swift now looked very ordinary and very empty inside. Truly speaking its not fair to even compare these cars, Fabia dfinitely belongs to an elite category,  where if you dont mind few extra bucks for the quality and features. Convincing argument is, if you add individual costs for each feature that Fabia offers, it actually is a value for what you pay car.

 

Hope the review helps...
