But would it fit the size I quoted (2023 Fabia ) I'm way up in the north-east, near Newcastle upon Tyne, I'm afraid.

Don't have the car yet but the spec says: 15" Rotare silver alloy wheels Tyres 185/65 R15 88H Will be on the lookout for either that or spacesaver. Don't really care as long as it is better than that gunk, for emergencies.

Anyone know of a cheap space saver spare wheel set for this?

Have decided to jump in. Just paid a deposit. Fabia SE comfort 1.0TSI 110PS DSG in Graphite Grey. Initial delivery date proposed was 3-4 weeks but have just been informed it could be end of next week. Only reservations I have about that is that the Road Tax would be August not September and the reg would be 23 not 73. Anyone see any problems there? At age 74 and driving since I was 20 this is the first time I've been in a position to actually get a NEW car! Any tips or advice or anything to look out for that I may not be aware of would be appreciated.

Thanks for that. Don't think the umbrella and ice scraper would swing it for me! Still very much on the fence about this, mainly because of insurance costs which seem way higher than I am used to. Appreciate your input, though.

Thanks for this. Very informative however I am now cooling off from this vehicle purely from the Insurance point of view. After doing some further research it is looking as if the insurance could be way higher than I hoped. I appreciate the comments you have all contributed. If I have a change of mind I will be back with a whole legion of questions, no doubt!

Interesting. Can you point me to where I can find this online owner's manual, please?

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thanks for that. Very helpful.

Thanks for that. Very informative. I hope someone can enlighten me about screensaver options.

Hello. Apologies first as I posted this in another section before realising there was a dedicated place for this model. First post here just on a fact finding mission. Been for a test drive today in a new Fabia SE Comfort 1.0TSI 110PS DSG. Really impressed with that auto gearbox but would like a little insight into some other practical features as there are so many things you don't notice on a short test drive that you think about later. First thing. I didn't notice if the door mirrors have a fold-in button. I seem to have read somewhere that it doesn't on this trim level. I also noticed that it has no sat-nav but would rely on my Android Auto connection. As this is something I rarely use I am wondering if .... using AA maps through my phone connection, would that be using my phone data or does that somehow pick up through the car antenna? Sorry but I really am 'vintage tech' I'm afraid. Next. With that display screen. If you have nothing selected as a display (no information) what is the default. On my current Kia Picanto I have a nice big analogue style clock on there. Is there a feature to select something on those lines? Anything else to be wary about or to have prior knowledge of? Thanks in advance for any information to help me decide whether to go for this or not. James.

As you can guess I just signed up here to see what is going on. Been out this morning to test drive a Fabia SE DSG and am well impressed with this gearbox. I have the feeling that there may be a number of questions coming your way before I make a decision. James.
