Test Drive Skoda Fabia Hatchback since 2010 Hatchback

Ugly Duckling Rose, Test New Skoda Fabia

I fully appreciate the new Fabia, I managed when I got behind the wheel after watching the transformer film. I'll buy a bright yellow hatchback, I turn on the rear gear - the parking sensor automatically muffles the music to not distract when maneuvering, and adaptive headlights helpfully highlight the turns after the rotation of the steering wheel. After a fantastic film, a persistent feeling that the car seeks to guess the driver's desires.
The Skoda Fabia of the second generation was hit by a second-generation Skoda Fabia in the Skoda Fabia with a 1.4 liter engine. and manual gearbox. It includes: full electropacle, alloy wheels, climate control, stabilization system, fog lights, CD receivers and six airbags.
The new Skoda Fabia has grown in size and looked. As if, a ridiculous-angcious teenager took shape in a beautiful girl with rounded shapes. However, to name Fabia purely female car is difficult. If in the same Peugeot 207, a man can compact, then Fabia Sport with massive air intakes and 16-inch cast discs looks even a bit aggressive. I will not be original if I note that the front black racks Fabia copied from a handsome mini. But it does not look Chinese plagiarism. The borrowed reception only revived the appearance of the city hatchback.
Like the inner world of a matured girl, Fabi's salon became serious and stricter. There are no entertainment to you like the illumination of shoes or cheerful coloring - in a long trip, passengers can bother. Despite the monophonic interior, all materials are better and pleasant to the touch. Steering wheel, gear lever and handbrake trimmed skin. A pleasant fabric upholstery of the seats and doors reminds of relationship with a concern VW, and the shape of the glasses buttons makes you remember about Audi. Inside the hints of sports are not enough, and the most sporting item is a steering wheel, though it's a pity that without the audio control keys. I really liked the chairs, which in the sharp turns well fix the body. Two glove boxes, one of them with cooling.
You sit in Skoda, and you are looking for anything. Here, unlike the French, the Klason button does not turn out to be on the end of the steering wheel switch, and the parking brake is not hiding to the left of the clutch pedal. Climate control or audio system is intuitive. All the little things are thought out, so the puncture with the armrest looks very ridiculous. His inconvenient location, I have already noted the Skoda Roomster test drive. With a folded down armrest switching the transmissions is very uncomfortable.
Behind a place in Fabia enough for two adults. In the threesome, no offense, but in flavored.
Places in the trunk, as befits a compact hatchback a little - 300 liters. But if you fold the seats, the volume will increase to 1163 liters. For kidding not hanging on the way, the plastic box attached to the side wall. The trunk walls of the Skoda as if from the premium class, are decorated with high-quality darous material.
Motors for Fabia Three: 1.2 l, 1.4 liters. or 1.6 liters Automatic transmission is installed only on the most powerful engine. And for lovers to light next year, the Fabia sports version will appear, which, as before, will be equipped with Turbodiesel.
Engine 1.4 liters. A pair with a handle is a good solution for the city. Since the first programs are rather short, the speakers are enough. True, the motor pulls in the range of 3000-4500 rpm. - Want to quickly accelerate, please switch transfers often. Fortunately, the clear drive of the PPC allows you to do it at ease.
Despite the dependent rear suspension (twisting beam), the chassis provides very predicted and safe behavior, there is a stock. The wovets are felt by the VW breed (and maybe the riders from the rally team Skoda attached to the settings and at all?). On the smooth asphalt, Fabia's noise isolation is a worthy school VW. However, the short-spectal suspension dislikes deep pits and bumps. By moving at speeds, it is easy to call it a breakdown.
Now about weightless. During the test, I ran into one breakdown and one glitch. On the second day of the test drive, the climate control system refused to cool the interior, while the heat was under 30 degrees. After the test drive, it turned out that some pipe or contact jumped from the air conditioner. Nothing terrible, but I had to test the car with ventilated exhaust gases. Another glitch presented a multimedia display. If the car is drowning with the back
 
transmission and activated parking sensors, then when starting the display hangs in Parktronic mode. Again, a trifle, but to zeroing the problem, you need to move the engine again. Write off

these defects can except for a consequence of the combat modes of a test car or chance. I have not found information about such chronic diseases on the forums of Fabia owners of information about such chronic diseases.
The check, please!
Tested Skoda Fabia 1.4 Sport with a rich list of options cost $ 23,850. In such a configuration, you can take more to the size of a German or Japanese competitor. But the deficit is not enough for them. Having ordered them, wait until half a year. Here it is worth remembering the quality interior and the original appearance of the Czech mini. In this case, Fabia looks more attractive purchase. Despite its compactness, Skoda Fabia will quite cope with the role of the only car in a young family, which is not so rich in order to save.
