|  Skoda Fabia Reigns. Sorry to be boring, you guys with your treasured Vrs's But I am the proud owner of a 05 1.9TDi PD Estate. I've owned her for 5 months but being retired and sedate these days have only just taken her on a decent motorway journey i.e. Lincs to Burnley Lancs. I have been amazed at the lovely motorway cruising. Effortlessly gliding along around (dare I say it) 80mph and having to check my speed carefully. She is the Elegance model so I was able to set the Cruise Control on the quieter stretches. She's a dream. MPG in high 60's and once full the fuel gauge doesn,t even move untill 100miles have gone. What a comfortable 'little' car (feels big) My last car was a Rover 75 2.0 CDT with sat nav but once I've clipped my TomTom in the fabia it's no contest. Anyone thinking of buying the Fabia..go for it. I wish I'd done it earlier. |

| Re: Skoda Fabia Reigns. Apparently a great little car - mate WW has gotten one after his vRS and seems very happy with it.

| Re: Skoda Fabia Reigns. I have the same car , I had a Vrs but replaced it with the estate a few months later ( long story ) and have not missed the Vrs at all. True what you say about the needle not moving until you have done 100 miles from a full tank. The heated seats are a bonus as well.

| Re: Skoda Fabia Reigns.  I've got an Ambiente 1.9PD Estate as a company wagon, was the reason I bought my vRS. Not as much spec as the Elegance but im munches the miles very very impressively! Needs some TLC, being an ex large animal Vet's car it's had a hard life  and stunk when we got it haha
