Having been familiar with vw's tdi engined company cars for many years,i was looking for a vehicle on a budget that had similar performance as golf gti/focus 1.9tdci. I purchased a black fabia vrs with 19000 miles from a car supermarket and found it a fantastic allrounder , hot hatch,tourer,family,city car all in one. With minimalist styling and no tacky body kits (vrx/st's/evo's) i would recommend this car to anybody no matter what age. Great value for money, couldn't find any other car that's as good on fuel, performs, and not bad to run and insure for the price. Fun to drive with brilliant usable power, skoda badge makes it even more fun when it leaves other vehicles behind, the people in the know have a cult car that doesn't shout but has the last laugh. Although this isn't the fastest hatch out there it is a complete package and resale values should reflect this. I'm thinking of getting mine superchipped ,just researching pro's and cons. Advice anybody? Without badge snobbery this car is just brill! p.s the only snag is the light grey seat colour marks easily ,seat covers would be highly recommended.
