MY NEW SKODA FABIA 1.2MPI AMBIENTE PETROL

Look and Style :: Elegant, Simple, Robust, solid feel, pleasant ivory interiors, wider tyres Comfort :: Good driving comfort, spacious both at front and rear seats with good legspace, adjustable driver seat height, comfortable gear handle position Pickup :: slightly less in first gear at low engine rpm - if rpm is raised and clutch is engaged good pickup - checked up with dealer who said that acceleration at first gear would be good at 2000rpm Mileage :: just covered 250 kms - gave 11 kmpl in city traffic conditions (chennai) Best Features :: Smooth gear shift, soft steering, stable at turnings, almost nil cabin noise, spacious, air bags for both driver & front passenger, warnings for headlight on Needs to improve :: clutch has a slightly hard feel - can make it a bit soft. Dealer confirms that the clutch feel would be slightly hard in all SKODA models. Dealer recommended using the clutch foot rest appropriately to reduce fatigue during clutch pedal operation. Minimum gear changes also recommended during driving so that use of clutch is minimised Overall Experience :: excellent. Satisfied. Enjoying my driving a lot. A few of my friends who drive the car gave positive comments (eventhough some felt it was slightly costlier). But everyone agreed that drive feel and handling is very good.  For prospective buyers the above points should help positively in going in for this car However, please make note of some features which will be missing for this price 1) Fuel lid opener is manual using key 2) Reverse Indication Lamp is only on the left side at rear and fog lamp is only on the right side at the rear - of course these features are not so important to prevent you from selecting this car
