It,s Gone :-(

[George]

Evening all,

Well after 11yrs and 1 day of ownership from new, i waved goodbye to my fabia. It was a sad day to see it go, but i know the new owners will look after it, and its still local to me. So i will still see it around. Its been a great car, as many fellow owners know. Nothing major ever went wrong, just your normal wear and tear. Overall, a great car.

I have moved to a different manufacturer now. Still part of VAG group though. A VW polo bluegt. It,s a 1.4 petrol turbo charged 140bhp. Nice car, quite punchy, but hasn,t got the grunt of the fabia though, but so far, its all good.

The Polo

 

 

I,ll still be looking on here regularly.

A big thank you for the folks who run this site, all the peoples advice and help, and all the folks ive met on here,

 

Cheers George

Polo looks very nice George. Any plans for it?

[George]

Cheers Lee, no plans yet for it, but never say never :-)

Polo does look smart mate!

[andypandypoos]

really like Polos, last few versions seem to suit their similar design better than the Golf

[Skoda_Saint]

Good looking Polo George.

[Phil-E]

Nice Polo.

 

Is that the new eco engine that can shut down 2 cylinders when cruising to save fuel?

Cheers Phil,

 

Thats the one, it cuts down to 2 cylinders when on light light throttle. It runs on cylinders 1 & 4 when fuel saving.

Cheers Dan, how are you?

Very well thank you buddy. Yourself? Me and you both have a volkswagen just Lee left to convert now ha

Quite a Midlands group about then

[Guest BigJase88]

You'll probably find the polo is actually quicker in the real world

Just the power delivery of the old pump duece engine that makes it 'feel' fast

To be fair, it's quite punchy for a 1.4. I do miss the low down grunt of the fabia. Just adjust the driving style to suit. Still learning, but overall I'm pleased with it.

Cheers

Thats just the lump of torque the pd produces

You'll soon adapt to the more linear power

Plus you have a decent rev band now

Ha ha your not too far off the mark though Dan. It will be a VW golf estate for me next
