I found the 2.0 140 PD really disappointing at first. After about 3-5000 miles, it settled down and is now almost as good as the 1.9 130 in the oh's Fabia vRS. Happy now. The power is delivered much more smootly in the 2.0 and will run happily at low revs, whereas the 1.9 is sluggish low down but then takes off as the turbo gets going.

I have bought both of my Fabias from Bickertons. The first time was at the old site and they were superb. Second time was at the new site and they were less good. When I was looking to change the old Fabia for an Octavia, Bickertons were awful. I had arranged a test dive and they let me down. They seem to offer rock bottom PX and don't want to negotiate at all. As for the servicing, its unlikely you'll ever go there once. The last 3 times that I've been there I have had to go back for them to finish the job. The lack of customer care is disappointing given how good they used to be.
