I'm seriously thinking of entering the world of skoda and purchasing a fabia vrs in the guise of "se" edition.
What I'm wondering is, is there any bad points to look out for. My wife has a passat 130 so I'm fairly familiar with the engine but what about bodywork etc? I've currently got a mk 5 golf gti which I think I've sold and I'm aware of all the paint issues that I've had done under warranty:mad: thanks in advance

the fabia is based on the polo/ibiza
build quality good and body good
suspension bushes are not man enough so change them for solid (front wishbone rear bush)
quite tunable but if you remap car seriously then you will need to uprate the clutch to handle torque
