I picked up my brand new Fabia level 3 1.6 petrol (in black) last week and wanted to say hello to the forum posters and thanks.

I've been lurking on this site now for a couple of months before making my decision. I wanted to get a feel for what owners thought of the car before I went ahead with my purchase. I never even considered a skoda until I was forced to drive one at work and was taken back by how good it was. Everyone on the forum seemed to be really enthusiastic about their car and I can see why now.

I couldn't be happier with the car.

Thanks.

Nice colour, what's the performance like on the 1.6?

Thanks.

My dealer told me to keep the revs low for the first 500 miles so I have yet to really stretch the legs on it yet. Having only done short drives around London roads I am so far happy with the performance. MPG I seem to be averaging 35 miles to the gallon. Manouvring in and out of heavy traffic is a doddle.

Welcome to Briskoda! I hope you enjoy your car. What car did you come from?

Nice colour, what's the performance like on the 1.6?

It's good. From 3000rpm onwards, the car is very agile and makes overtaking easy.

I had to keep up to a Fabia vRS and a Octavia I 4x4 1.8T once, and managed to do that very well. Lucky me it was on S roads and top speed was not an issue, but I had to accelerate very hard all the time and enter the bends at a very high speed compared to the other 2 cars which were accelerating faster than I was, but I managed to not let them get away from me.

Welcome. Skoda does make some rather good cars...

Welcome to the forum.

Dont forget to post some pics too

Welcome! Enjoy your car...
