2001 Skoda Fabia Comfort 1.9 tdi from UK and Ireland
Summary:
A real performer which guards the pennies yet brings a smile to the face
Faults:
The only problem in 2 years and 40000 miles is the electric driver window playing up slightly.
General Comments:
Definitely the best car I've ever driven and a far cry from the skodas I used to drive.
It is surefooted, good mid range torque and with an equal measure of motorway and urban driving still manages 50 mpg.
Comfort is good on all types of journey and / or road surface.
Puts a lot of other diesels and most petrol cars in the same sector to absolute shame.
Pound for pound a real driver and owners car.
If only people could get past the snobbery they'd realise a whole new world.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Hear Hear! Our Fabia is still standing, and is as good as the day we brought it home, although she has moved us 4 times! Everything in our home except beds and big stuff like that, she has moved every single thing in our house 4 times.
It has been in an accident skidding on the wet road to a curb, totaling one tire, cost next to nothing to repair it, and we all share this one car, it is definitely the best car we've ever had!
