|  Bob Purcell CAN i GET SOME FEEDBACK ON A COUPLE OF FABIA MODELS i HAVE RECENTLY OWNED? FIRSTLY, I BOUGHT AN EX DEMO 1.9 TDi COMFORT FROM A SKODA MAIN AGENT WHICH SUFFERED FROM VICIOUS KICKBACK WHEN LIFTING OFF THE GAS IN FIRST GEAR. AS A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR, THIS WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO LIVE WITH, BUT I WAS ASSURED BY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS NOT A FAULT WITH THE CAR. I TRADED THIS IN FOR A 1.2 LITRE 54BHP FABIA, LOSING £2000 ON THE TDi. THE 1.2 WAS OVER REVVY IN FIRST GEAR CAUSING LEARNERS GREAT PROBLEMS TURNING CORNERS AS THE CAR WAS ON 3,500 REVS ON COMPLETION OF THE TURN. MASSIVE DEPRECIATION ON THIS CAR, LOSING OVER £3000 IN THREE MONTHS. TRAUMATISING LOSSES ONLY REDEEMED BY PRIVATE PURCHASE OF A FABIA vRS WHICH IS PROBABLY ABOUT THE BEST CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN, OFFERING GREAT FLEXIBILITY AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. WHAT AN AMAZING CONTRAST BETWEEN DIFFERENT MODELS OF THE SAME RANGE!! ANY MEMBERS EXPERIENCED SIMILIAR PROBLEMS ON ANY SIMILIAR FABIA MODELS? |

| Hi Bob, and welcome to the forum  There are several other driving instructors on the board, and loads of other fabia owners so I'm sure someone will offer an opinion soon !
