Skoda cars are unreliable and looks cacat. The only OK skoda is the new Superb. My neighbour's son has a fabia, automatic transmission jammed, glove box rattling, and loose door fittings. I mean, VW is not making good quality inspections for the fabia. Thank god. Skoda cars are unreliable and looks cacat.

Exterior wise, I think Swift definitely better than this Fabia,, But, for the interior.. I'm not so sure since Swift is not that great inside... Though I can say that Swift handling is superb if not that perfect.... Agreed… its look like Suzy Swift….
