I test drove one and came very close to buying it then i saw the one i eventually bought.

Kinda wish i had got the saloon as i havent seen another and it would look good with VRS bumper and some big alloys.

IIRC, Mr Psion5 on here used to drive a 1.4 auto saloon. I don't recall him saying many good things about it in the end

I had a 1.9SDI saloon, it was fine and was the car I've owned longest out of all my cars. Few minor issues, it ate headlight bulbs like no ones business and also the boot was great unless you needed to move a large item which in some cases the height of the loading area was an issue.

The only reason I sold it was because I was after something more 'trendy'. Enter the Ford Puma.

I've just bought a VRS so it must have made a good overall impression.

I had a Fabia Saloon as a courtesy car and i'm thankful for having the vRS. I felt like i needed to be wearing a flat cap and smoking a pipe!!! :thumbdwn:
