my views on Fabia - not for the masses, has a special feel.....

Dear friends..

This review is about Fabia Ambiente 1.4 tdi. I have been reading reviews on this car - both positive and negative. I realise those who own it are quite passionate about it, though there are a few who are completely disappointed as well mostly owing to bad service and some defect.

I also watched recent reviews on TV where Fabia was compared with i20 and Fiat's Grande Punto, apart from its specious comparisons with Ritz, Swift, and others. The reviews do say that this is the best one though others arent too far behind. I test drove it, and after much deliberation I finally booked it. Now I think I should have it by the day after. I am quite excited about it.

Many have expressed their doubts over service, expensive spare parts and pick up. I considered these points as well and I realised, based on my past driving experience with the cars that I have owned till now (from Maruti and Tata stables), that the car should not be giving any troubles considering it has to live upto its 'luxury' brand. This car has host of features, including safety and comfort features.

I considered going for this car after I test drove all other cars mentioned above. I am convinced that it looked most attractive (this is subjective though), that the interior are frugal, tasteful, smacked of German craftsmanship. I liked the details in the car, little details not noticieable, however, important and contributory to the overall feel of the car. Somewhere it matches my personality which I think is very important. I am aware that the car is noisy while running, not that its various components rattle due to bad workmanship, but that there is a usual tendency of a deisel engine to be a bit noisy. I agree with one Mr. Suraj here that this vehicle is for a discerning buyer, an avant garde. And I would like to believe that I am!

I would welcome comments, if any, about the car. Meanwhile, let me own it, let me drive it...and then I will get back with more concrete impressions.  

 

 

Good styling, nice confortable ride, stable while running on high speeds, a discernable buynothing negative so far!!
