I owned a Skoda Fabia 1.2 htp petrol fabia where initially it was good and just after a month from the date of purchase it started giving me problems such as:
1) the where in it gave me a useless mileage of 7-8 kmpl in city -with 50% a.c on and 8.5 kmpl on highway and if I rip hard .say about a rpm of 3000-4500 then showing me the result of some where 6 kmpl. Seriously a sad tiny 3-cylinder engine where in its working hard to pull a heavy car.
It’s something like a e.g{santro’s 1100 cc engine being fitted into Hyundai verna}. The engine is really sluggish, slow and under-power and inefficient(petrol) and very noisy, you can say that the diesel swift is much silent when compare to the petrol 1.2 liter engine of skoda fabia,
Overall, the car was well built and beautiful independent spring suspension and I loved its high dash board quality and worst thing was the engine would vibrate like hell!
And the a/c compressor of my car had problem. Overall, I loved its ride quality and the driver seat had good comfort . Except for mileage and on the other hand the performance was also not that good with a great difficulty the car would touch 140 on my speedo meter and get out of breath
The performance on the other hand was real sad and if at all. If the performance was good, I would have compromised on mileage and if the mileage was good, I would have compromised on performance. Here in these skoka junk. Neither the performance was good nor the mileage.which forced me 2 sell my 2008 red fabia which I bought on May, which had clocked only 15000 kms.
Sold for only 4.5 lac because of it sad resale value’s.
