New Fabia Sport Arrived!!!

[robb06210]

Well I've seen it!

Initial impression

Swmbo (girlfriend if she's reading this) is thinking about buying one so we trundled along to Alex Lawrie today - they were kind enough to let us have a quick look.

Looks very nice in black magic - seats definitely look better in black!

Aggressive front styling and rear diffuser looks nice too - overall it looks very vRS... got me wondering whether Skoda were just going to roll out the Sport in its place!

GF is going for a test drive when the car's ready in Jan... I'll ask her how it handles then - if it wasn't for the 16" Wheels though I think it'd still look like it was on stilts.

Had a quick run through the figures in the brochure... we'll be looking at about 200 lbs/ft torque on the 1.9tdi (105) with a 0-60 of about 10 seconds or something and a top speed of 110.

Overall it looks the business... but on paper at least it's no vRS

Nate

the controls are the same as the level 2. the steering wheel being leather and 3 spoke though.

sorry guys ive had no luck with uploading the pics, ive got them on the pc but my system here dosnt like any uploader sites(blooming IT dept), if someone wants to have a bash for me PM and i'll email the pics over to you.

[Tom_vRS]

Hope they are ok Dean

Does look quite nice I must say... Looks fairly promising if the vRS takes it up a notch

[fabsport]

Very nice, was hoping the interior would be abit more sports looking, ie dash clocks radio the seats how ever look decent. I still favour the new Seat Leon but wel see what i get !

[Neo_VR]

Saw one while i was at the dealers earlier in the week, they do look pretty smart... will definately be interesting to see how the vRS looks.. my bet is the vRS will have the same bodykit.. (remember the original fabia vRS bumpers were available as a Kit for the normal models before teh vRS was out)

[pete.mcl]

Just had one arrive in Nottingham in storm blue 1.9tdi. Looks good and the front end is really different in the flesh than any pics do it justice. The exhaust looks good in the 1.9tdi as well as its got twin exit in the oval (as the old vRS). I'll try and posty some pics over the weekend.

yup thanks for that!!

that last one wasnt actually intended to be such a cheeky advert either, but i bet the DP will be proud lol!!

[Joff]

Not keen in the lighter colour (yellow) - it looks like the front end needs to be broken up a bit more, maybe once the numberplate is fitted.

[Octygone]

I like that .......the yellow works really well with the new Fabia

[thirty3]

Hey thats does not look too bad.....liking that front spoiler thing

[RapidRonnie]

Addition of maxidot and climate control would brighten the dash a little. Looks good in yellow - contrasts nicely with the sunset and rear lights. Corrida red and white roof would be good too I reckon.

[Royston]

Those wheels are a bit weedy. The bodywork looks OK though. Get some BBS CH on it.

[PJW -VRS]

I wonder how it would look with a white roof ????

i should have a black one with a white roof coming from factory when its built, for some reason its been ordered as a 1.6i

[mdk1]

Pic's look good Dean

[mitchc3]

For some reason, it looks as though the Sport cannot be ordered with either climate control or a white roof. Strange but true, if the Skoda car configurator is to be believed.
