If this sounds familiar, it's the same engine used in the new - and expensive - Polo GTI. Fabia VRS also a seven-DSG box as standard (no manual option), LED lighting and smart 17-inch alloy wheels.
How does it feel?

Have fun. Twin Charged 178bhp TSI engine is lively but fine if a little vocal at times, with a healthy kick in the middle and a decent kick to the top. 0-62 mph sprint takes just 7.3sec, and will push 139 mph if necessary.

Fabio is an agile, focused, and handles well, with ESP's XDS electronic differential and a system that works for the most part pretty well. As a pure driving machine is a lack of opportunities for manual transmissions can bring some potential buyers are usually very interesting and enjoyable ride.

The cabin is not a luxury, but the VRS sports seats are comfortable, while the interior is elegantly finished with decent plastics and tasteful, understated touch when trimming. The ride is surprisingly good for a car with such sporting events, with firm but well damped suspension handle all but the worst potholes and uneven surfaces.
Should I buy?

I do not think many reasons why. At £ 15,700 Fabia VRS is not given away, but you'll have a lot of cars and good luck, for money.

It is well built, well equipped with a stylish (in his game away) and try a bit of money less than half of the GTI, but to be honest, Skoda and VW quieter proabably not share the same customers with their offer.

But most of the Fabia was cracking fun to drive if you're in the mood, and very beautiful - not to mention the most practical - form of transportation if you do not.
