Is the Fabia 1.4 tdi a major flop?

Let me take this.

Don't forget, British roads are amongst the safest in Europe! ABS etc doesn't allow you to drive closer to the limit and brake in a shorter distance, all it is designed to do is to allow the driver to brake and steer at the same time. If you haven't left adequate safety margins, and keep a safe distance, ABS will not save you. You still need friction between your tyres and the road surface to stop - that's not nothing to do with poor Skoda cars, it is the laws of physics. You cannot defy the laws of physics, that's just how it is.

By ABS, it prevents locking of wheels on slippary surfaces.

This is a feature and shall not hamper basic requirements that is "breaking".

you said "we need a friction to stop"

who is saying you do not have friction, come on! there are 4 wheels and all are not in air.

Let us forget all about ABS. I can tell you that, other cars that I can buy at half the price of fabia, do not have this problem.

In fabia also, I have applied urgent breaks while driving at 130-140kmph. and it worked fine.

I would suggest you get rid of your Fabia before word gets around that they are useless cars and buy a car at half the price but twice as safe.

So we're back to the Trabant again then.
