The debut of this model took place at the Geneva Motor Show. The similarities of this model with the previous ones are very minimal. Skoda Fabia developers pursued the purpose of providing as much space as possible in the cabin. Visually compact dimensions, and inside — a large space. The spaciousness of the car is evidenced by a high roof and a roomy trunk.
Skoda Fabia salon was created in strict style. Interior elements are competently selected. The panel of the instruments with the LCD monitor in the center is very informative. The monitor displays the data of the on -board computer. In the center of the torpedo is a climate control and radio. It is possible to connect to the MP3 radio and CD player.
The appearance deserves the most flattering reviews. In the presence of a high roof, a five -door hatchback looks very harmonious. Front headlights of large sizes, a radiator lattice with a chrome line, a bumper in front with the presence of air intake and foggy. Pleasantly complement the already good picture of sixteen -inch wheels. They are made in an interesting design that is in harmony with the overall design of the car.
To control the glass of Skoda Fabia is equipped with a special electric package. In addition to everything, the equipment of this model has an interesting innovation regarding seats. They have developed lateral support. The front seats are equipped with two -level heating.
There are small inconveniences in the cabin. First, the front armrest. In a horizontal position, it is too high, when lowering down is located at a angle at which the driver’s elbow often jumps. Secondly, the distance between the site under the left leg and the clutch pedal is very significantly. This makes you tear off the heel from the floor. So, for example, in the rhythm of urban saturated movement you often have to switch speeds, the left leg quickly gets tired. The gearbox is mechanical, five -speed. It excludes the transmission of a variety of vibrations from the engine. The lever has a fairly free stroke.
4 cylinder engine, 16 valve. Its volume of 1, 4 l. Power 86 horsepower. The engine is equipped with a pair of catalysts and a similar amount of lambda zone. A self -diagnostic system OBD is installed on the motor.
Skoda Fabia manufacturers took care of the security of the driver and passengers. Six airbags. Two in front, two side and two frontal. During the accident, light and alarm automatically turn on, the central lock is unlock, the fuel pump and gasoline supply are disconnected.
On the road Skoda Fabia behaves well. If the driver decided to polyghty the system of dynamic stabilization comes to help. If you turn off the ESP, the car sets off with a slip, at the first bend, a slight skidding. And then electronics comes into business.
Compared to previous models, Skoda Fabia increased in size, and handling became better and more reliable.
