The Fabia vRS Review and Photo thread

[ursus262]

What a sexy car !

Many thanks, Binzie.

 

You see, the car really does suit my character.  I have two sides to my character - one being nice and sensible and the other being a naughty side!  The Fabia VRs is both things at once: practical, but a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing.

 

For example: last night saw me in DJ and black tie singing in our local choir doing classical stuff, yet I'm not unknown to boogie on down at a Prodigy gig!

I like this review. I particularly like his style.

 

Found while Trolling for Media Published Articles on Oil Usage with Twinchargers.

Not recent but i had never seen it previously.

Not one I've seen before. Even-handed but not as good as some other ones out there.

I'm really not sure about the cars they claim are its competition in the table at the bottom.......

What delay? Must have had a fault on the DSG on that one. The DSG is just as quick as the one on a Nissan GTR.

[Ootohere]

Testers are odd people/drivers.

 

They will often talk about a DSG, they talk about Sport Mode, & the talk about Paddles, and not involved driving, delay shifts,

The talk about the need for a manual box,

but they seem to ignore, maybe on purpose or just stupidity, that it is a Twin Clutch Automated Manual.

 

Put the Gearstick to the left, and that is sequential manual shifts.  Manual without a clutch pedal.

Obviously with a ECU overriding shifts or lack of shifts that will damage the box or the Twincharger.

But still it does manual shifts pretty quick, 

maybe as quick as the paddles,  i have no idea, since i never use the paddles, preferring shifting Manually with the stick.

& happy with which direction is down the gears, and up the gears.

[OzFabia]

The good thing about shifting the stick to the left is that it doesn't override your choice on the paddle shifts after ten seconds or whatever the standard defined time is (except if your choice is going to stall or blow up the engine).

I have missed this page web from 'Honest John' until now.

 

Possibly important reading for anyone looking at buying used Twinchargers.

(even if all comments are not accurate, the main warning points are there.)

The delay in the gear shift is possibly because he not got his right foot in enough, on very light throttle the gear shift is softer and less urgent, put boot in and it sharpens up and kicks up the cogs with a sense of urgency IMO

Thanks, I think it became available around October last year, I ordered mine in December.
