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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 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.

Hello everybody,

Purchased this car a month back , so far driven 1900 kms.

Includes 1500 kms journey to kolhapur / amboli ghats. (4 passengers  including driver)

Journey to : AC 25 to 50% , Speed  125 kms Avg 13.7 kms/lte

Journey from : AC  25 to 50 % , Speed 110 Kms , Avg 14.4 kms/ltr.

This is my first and brand new car that I have purchased after going thro neck paining survey of different cars.

About engine not refined, this thing is from the books and various articles.  After initial struggle in putting the gears in right positions I feel this car has started understanding me and now driving has become much easier. All the car drivers  in our society gave me good feed back after seeing this car from inside and looking at the luggage space.

But honestly speaking, this is not a practical car for daily users who travel too much in a month. As spares cost sometimes makes you worry. In a month I have lost the skoda rear badge.( May god keep that guy happy who has stolen this beautiful badge).

In any case amongst present batch of competitors fabia is outstanding.

Exterior Should have given Fog lamps. Poor head lamps. Very thin layered paint. should have given remote lid opening. No tinted glasses.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good interiors. Front seats very spacious. excellent features. noisy ac vents. Excellent music system.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very noisy engine. average fuel economy. smooth gear box. I have driven around 40K Kms. in something less than two years. City drive is not very comfortable. Highway drive is very comfortable. i have faced many problems as far as service is concerned. I should say very poor service as far as Bhopal is concerned. Warranty coverage problems. My car is having problem regarding its turbo for months but still not taken up by the dealer. Skoda co. looks to be very lineant on this part. And the company is not reachable. Service centre is not well mechanised and the service team insists to leave the vehicle at service centre. And then they will play with the vehicle. Battery will be used as stanby battery in other vehicles. Not at all satisfied with the service.

Ride Quality & Handling Average in city but good on highways.

Final Words I m not satisfied with the service part. May think twice before recommending anyone for this car. Not expected from a brand like Skoda. Very expensive maintenance and car has lot of wear n tears. Might be difficult to maintain the car in post warranty period. Very expensive service.

Areas of improvement Service is the area for improvement. Spares are not adequately available at dealerships.
