New Fabia

[daveface]

Evening,

Just thought I would share! Finally picked up my brand new Fabia SE-L 1.2Tsi 90. Over the moon with it, really think it looks great in Red [emoji41][emoji41]

Also loving the Tech, and the Apple CarPlay!!

Have a great Easter everyone!!

Cheers,

Dave

Nice one, and in the fastest colour too! I may be bias but they are a handsome car, enjoy!

Thanks, I think so far after 20 miles it's seems really good. Coming from a Citigo with 59hp even 90hp is going to seem quick. But it is very quite and smooth, glad I didn't go for the 110 as I don't think i would really be able to notice the difference that much!

I picked my 1.2 sel 90 Fabia up at the end of January, exchanging it from a 1.0 ecoboost fiesta.Am very pleased with it.Before I took delivery I wondered if I should have gone for the 110 sel but as I average about 60 miles a week I think I made the right choice.Drives beautifully.My one concern was that I do like UK breaks and will probably do 1500 miles in around 10 days on my Scottish holiday.But as I last made the trip in a 55 bhp ford fiesta 1.2 lx with 4 people on board and full to the brim with luggage and that coped perfectly well I,ve realised theres nothing to worry about.

 

Went for the colour concept racing green with black roof.99% of people who comment on it think its a lovely car.

I don't think the difference between 1.2 90 and 110 is big. Probably it depends a bit on on driving style. Notice that the 110 has 175 nm vs 160nm over a 500 extra rpm - range (1400-4000). Yes if using the full rpm range to accelerate fast often (eg drive with dsg on sport) the extra power turns 'nice' to 'nicer'. If you drive more 'normal' and change gear before 3500-4000 rpm I don't see the extra 15 nm as much of a difference really. I currently drive hilly Sweden (on vacation) in the 90 hp fabia and thoroughly enjoy the torgue of the little engine going uphill. I would never go for the 60 and 75 editions with vastly less torgue (95 nm). As for the 110 hp edition, I think the 6th gear does for a more convincing argument (if driving lots of highways).

How does the Fabia compare to your Fiesta Ecoboost? I'm talking about the driving experience here, the way it rides and handles.

Are the steering wheel buttons lit green or white? There seem to be photos that show both of the colours!

The Steering wheel buttons and dash pod are all lit white

The Climate, radio buttons etc... are lit green. 

 

I think the last picture I post in the original post show this

Ahhh yup, I just ask as in these photos: http://www.whatcar.com/skoda/fabia/hatchback/review/in-the-cabin/ , they're green.

[daveface]

Ha - I see what you mean (how odd...), well here (in the UK) they are as above.

[SkodaFabiaIII]

Interesting isn't it! I wonder what they're doing at the moment... Some reviews have it as green, some owners as white. White looks classier I think... Although might be a mismatch with the other green...
