HAPPY EXPERIENCE

I had purchased Fabia 1.2 Ambiente in Dec 08, from Marikkar Engineers, Calicut. The car has done about 1700 km now. The experience has been good so far.The car has a rich quality levels for all components and features.It is definitely ahead of all competitors in its category and hence the pricing is somewhat justified. Overall the experience has been good right from the dealers attitude to the fast response from Skoda Aurangabad on a query reg the fuel tank capacity. I have achieved a fuel economy of 14 kpl on a tour of about 650 km which included about 100 km of city driving and mountain roads. This is with air con on for the full journey, which is pretty ok. What really pleases me is the drive quality and low noise levels inside. The car is no sprint king but is not very sluggish either. But the stability is confidence inspiring.The seating comforts are super even at the rear. Five adults can travel in good comfort;though the transmission tunnel is a bit of a bother for the rear middle passenger.The stereo is of decent quality .The plastics and overall finish is top notch.Equipment levels are ahead of some of the sedans. A few niggles are present though. The ORVMs do not fold, and pose a risk in tight traffic conditions.The fuel lid is not remote operable and a minor irritant. Apart from these the car does not have much on the negative side.Style, Build and ride qauality,comfort, stability.Yet to find a major fault
