Skoda Fabia vRS (2003 - 2007) 1.9 TDI PD (130bhp) 5d (2004/54) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Hmmm.. That's a tricky one, suppose that I'm not a Badge Snob and know a great Value car when I see one.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

At first got the usual old Skoda Jokes until they went in it or Drove it, think it surprised most of them as very few comments now!!!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I'd def. buy another one... I'n fact I've just put a deposit down on a newer low mileage one. Must of had nearly 40 Cars, never had the same one twice before.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another one!!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£5,400

When did you buy the car?

March 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes got it at a very good price with Warranty, Cambelt, Tensioners and Waterpump done, also a couple on New tyres which weren't really needed.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted something economical, reliable, comfortable, cheap to run but still enough performance to entertain.

What was the dealer like?

Dealer was good, I travelled a fair way to buy the car and their description was spot on.

What's it like to drive?

Excellent to Drive, 130 BHP Diesel Engine very responsive in such a small car, great for overtaking, not as quick as my previous 200 bhp Octavia VRS but it is suprisingly nippy. Very Comfortable, cruises well on the Motorway. Handles OK.

What's it like to park?

Really easy to Park, great all round visibility.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not missed a beat in the 11,000 miles I've done in last 6 months, now on 60,000.

What's most practical about your car?

For a small Car it's got quite a lot of space inside, much more than many others I looked at.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Not loads of Gadgets but Air Con good.
