First year with Fabia 2

AndyC · 20-06-2008, 21:06

It's now been 12 months since we picked up our new Fabia, so whats to report.
Not a lot really. It's my wifes car and has done 5k miles. Plenty of room inside for all her stuff. Just had first service (£80 ish). The car has used no oil and I could give up the regular checks on the other levels. Now its loosened up a bit the engine has quietened down and it will now do the claimed 48mpg. The car still feels new and nothing rattles or squeaks.

I do wonder how many Skoda are selling, as despite having a large dealership only a few miles away, you don't exactly see a lot of the new shape around.

Nice to hear someone actually getting the claimed MPG, only seen a handful of new Fabia's, if anything I've seen more Roomsters over the past month. With economy now in downturn , don't expect to see that many new cars around.

Starting to see a number of them around West London and the LHR area, even 2 on the same estate as me. Europcar has a number as hire cars at LHR (Heathrow).

Yes they do have a number of them as I am used to seeing quite a few in the Europcar depot where I work.
