When the Fabia was first introduced it was the best small car of that group, much better than the Polo

Nope - as found out by the press and by people who work with the buggers

My dad at the time was at a Skoda & Subaru dealership when it came out.

He also found a design fault with the brakes (master cylinder and servo combinations)

Well I can't remember the details, but they sold shedloads of them and they were a lot better than the Polos.

THe brake problem was a mismatch which stopped the system allowing new fluid into the brake system as the pads wore.

I managed to make SWMBO not get a pug.... took her to see a 2001 X Plate Skoda Fabia 1.4, it was like new inside. First owner was a disabled guy, then a single in his 30's took it.

There was not a mark on the interior, spot less. Drove like new, same engine intertior components as the Polo, and felt very solid.

60k miles, air-con, leccy mirrors and windows, 5 door, new tyres all around.... got him down to £1,800 for it.

 :)

Never mind...... ::)
