Skoda Fabia. Choose a "workhorse" for every day

Traditionally, Skoda Fabia is represented in domestic cities in the hatchback version in minimal trim levels. Perceiving the given car as working, buyers basically do not spend money for additional options, even acquiring it for themselves (not to mention the situation when the company's management takes these machines to employees).

It is Skoda Fabia who most often drives along the roads of pharmacists and sales representatives, account managers and emergency commissioners. In general, all the professions associated with constant travel are "staffed" by Fabians.

This choice is associated with many reasons, one of which, without doubt, is the cost of the car. If we consider foreign cars in this class, then only Chinese and, possibly, Korean variants will be cheaper, which, no doubt, will yield in reliability. Skoda Fabia, perhaps, is the cheapest in the class of European cars.

Everyone knows that Skoda is the same Volkswagen, but a little cheaper. Here Fabius, repeating all the dignity of Polo, is more accessible both in Eastern Europe and in Russia. These machines manage to drive for years in any weather and they do not break. As a rule, in addition to oil, filters and pads, nothing changes in them, at least for the first 3-4 years of operation.

The suspension of this car forgives even our roads with their endless pits, and the modern 70-horsepower 1.2-liter engine is not too gluttonous (older versions with the same volume consume a little more). Complete sets with large volumes for work are rarely bought. There is also a diesel Skoda Fabia with even lower consumption, but it is more often purchased in the universal for slightly different purposes.

It is very difficult to call Fabia spacious. It is really comfortable for the driver and the front passenger. Back it is possible to put unless children or to put any things (that more often and happens). The luggage compartment at it too not so big, but bags from a supermarket quite will fit.

And still Skoda Fabia of any generation differs very strong body. As practice shows, with a small accident, it does not suffer in principle (although other participants can pretty much mend it, even if they are in a larger weight category).

Separate attention deserves Skoda Fabia universal. They have been releasing it in this body since 2007 and are equipped with motors from 1.2 to 2.0 in the petrol version, as well as diesel engines (which are more popular) in two versions. Despite the small dimensions, Combi (this is what Skoda Fabia Wagon is called), reviews about which are often found on the Internet, has a more spacious trunk. In this body, Fabia is already turning into an auto, carrying loads, samples of products, etc.

In addition to the 5-step mechanics, Fabia is equipped with a box-machine, but it is not very popular, because it costs more, and consumes more fuel, and in a working car such luxury is useless.

It turns out that Fabia - almost the ideal car for the one who "feeds the legs." It is hardy, economical, perfectly behaves on a bad road, rarely breaks. But even this ideal "horse" has certain drawbacks: a tight interior, a small trunk, a rather high price (compared to domestic or Chinese cars). And yet the benefits are greater, because managers choose Fabia.
