Apologies if these are things you've all answered before but I've had a quick look and couldn't see a duplicate thread.

After years of wanting one, I'm finally in the position to have a Fabia vRS as my company car on a four year lease. It came down to that or an Ibiza 1.9 TDI FR.

So...questions.

1. Have I made the right choice? I know the Ibiza is the more modern car, but the Fabia just makes me grin!

2. When are the door handles going colour coded? If I order now, and the fact that I want a sunroof, ESP and side airbags makes it a 10 week factory order, will I get the coloured handles? Not such an issue if I have black but the black handles look quite dated on the other colours.

3. Will it still look good in four years, or will I be paying to get out of the lease early and wishing I'd had the Ibiza or a new Golf in 2008?

4. Is it still only available in black, red and silver or have they brought back a yellow?

5. Has anyone seen the part leather option on the seats? I saw a leather/suede combination on an Octavia in the showroom today and it looked gorgeous. More practical too if the seats are going to go bobbly.

Off for a final test drive tomorrow before placing the order, so any tips of what to ask and look for would be appreciated.

Thanks

I didnt know that Yellow had been deleted , according the the 2006 MY brochure yellow is still availible! Also I think the leather seat option is full leather on the Fabia vRS , and it is £1700 fitted , at least thats what was quoted in the Auto Express mag a few weeks ago when they ran the story , along with a pic of the seats , and very smart they look too!

Leather is a dealer fitted option priced at £1300. You can't have side airbags with leather but you can have heated seats.

Ah £1300 , okay that sounds more like it!

New shade of yellow now available to order - Sprint yellow - production starts in 31/2 weeks, with my car - hopefully!

1. Yes! I believe you've made the right choice!

2. Don't think the door handles will ever get colour coded. They never have been on the Fabia.

3. Only time will tell!

4. Yellow has always been an option!

5. As above.

2. Don't think the door handles will ever get colour coded. They never have been on the Fabia.

The Fabia Sport has colour coded door handles...

Apparently colour coded door handles are part of a facelift at the end of this month.

What's all this about another face lift then? What else is going to change?

Replacing the 1.9 PD130 with a 1.4 TDI engine iirc

3: The Furby is an ugly bugger now - I'm sure it'll only look worse as it dates. I love tha fact that I'm driving an offensive looking car and annoying all the 318s with the looks AND the smog

Apparantly they are going to make them with a PD 170 engine, Strut Brace, lowered suspension, enlarged air filter pipe, FMIC, 17" alloys, colour coded handles and leather seats as standard. It comes without a warranty!!
