I drove this car for about 25K kms for 3 years. Impressive handling & drive experience. You can trust fabia for long drives, though you may feel little bigger engine is required at higher speeds sometimes. Fuel consumption is more compared with any other 1.2 car in market today. very comfortable cabin & leg room. Even the storage space is good.
Main problem is with Service support. I brought my car from Asset Auto, Pune. I had pathetic experience. If I dont recommend this car, it will be only due to service support. Above all spares are quite expensive, though frequent change is not required.
