Hello evryone i am new here and own a 1.6 Felicia at the present but have my heart set on a corrida red vRS Fabia

Welcome !

Welcome sifelicia.

And a fabia vrs is an awesome car - can't blame you for having your heart set on one.

I'm loving mine more and more every day

Welcome,

Going from a Felicia to a Furby vRS will be like going from the Stone Age to the Space Age in terms of performance ..... start saving now !

Welcome to briskoda sifelicia, humsk is right about the difference although it's better in every single way, although as the Felicia was a budget car based on the Favorit and the Fabia is a modern supermini with up to date technology, there is no contest.

Are you sure that you want corriada red as there are only a few on this forum (even less in lemon yellow) as most seem to go for black or silver.

It does look nicest in red though.

I was told by the salesman yellow is harder to sell, I did like the yellow but that kinda put me off plus the fact I have never had a black car.

BTW black is not a colour, it is the lack of colour where as white is all the colours combined in the spectrum.

Skoda call it a colour and so for the puposes of car talk it is a colour. Even if it is really a shade along with white eh ivan!

Remember the Fabia is really only Felicia MK 2. I remember it being shown before release on the Skoda web site as felicia 2! The vRS version will have better performance and fuel economy than the 1.6 Felicia but it will also be cramped inside. The Felicia cabin was much better laid out.

Also the Felicia is considerably more butch than the Fabia!

i remeber in the Skoda brochure for the Felicia that the wedge shaped bonnet was described as being aggressive looking! :confused:

But that makes it the Favorit mk3 and in theory the Octavia is a Mk2 Estelle as they all have as much in common as their predecessors (ie bugger all)

the felicia was just a reskinned favorit with alterations to the engine bay for vag engines to fit. the Fabia is on a totally different platform and if it was the mk2 felicia (even though that may have been the name during development) that is what it would be called in the brochures and on the cars.

Will you be calling the mk2 panda the Gingo as that was it's original name before renault stepped in about the similarities with oits twingo name?

The Felicia was built on the old Polo platform IIRC. The Fabia is built on the new Polo platform.

The Octavia is built on the Golf platform, which has no relation whatsoever to the Estelle!

It was the Favorit platform, the old polo platform was a different class of car to live with. But the rest of the quote proves the point i was trying to make anyway. The new polo is nothing like the old polo apart from a few parts and the name, it's just that the name is popular, so why change it!
