just got a fabia 3 1.9 drives well, what is this hard ride i have read about it seems fine to me. is this regarded as as hotish car with this engine seems pretty good to me

I wouldn't say that it will be described as a hot car in terms of performance, but it is certainly a good solid engine with reasonable levels of torque and a quality mid range. But with a remap you could be nearing the 'hot' terroritary as it would have similar performance to a fabia vRS!!!

A good custom remap and some work with the air intake and exhaust would see it enter luke warm hatch territory with good mid-range performance that may suprise other small cars

Would need to be lowered though, I have a Fabia 3 too with 16" wheels and they still look tiny:P As for the hard ride, it has gonnen noticably "Audi Like" over the previous Fabia, edging towards a harder ride while sacrificing a little comfort, but still a refined ride
