I can't comment on the 1.2 as I've not been in one, but I can say I've been very impressed with the 1.0TSi (110 bhp) in my 67-plate Fabia. I have found it to be quiet, to offer strong and flexible performance, and to be very economical. I reckon a realistic 40+mpg in modestly busy town driving and high-50s to low-60s on a longer run, depending on how heavy one's right shoe is. The six speed gearbox available with the 110 bhp makes excellent cruising for a car in this segment. I've personally covered approx 18,000 miles since buying the car in April 2019, taking the odometer reading to 26,000.
