Thread: Skoda Fabia RS

Here's a link:

Offered in both Hatch and Wagon bodystyles.132kW 1.4 TSI with 7-DSG (only).
0-100 in 7.3 secs (which is the same as the RS TSI manual I might add), top whack of 225km/h (227km/h for the wagon). Best part is the combined 6.4L/100km fuel economy. Apparently the new VW chassis system (XDS?) is standard equipment. Can't wait to see it in the flesh (hint hint nudge nudge Skoda Australia...)

It'd be nice if they did a Roomster RS too (or something in the Roomster range with at least 30 more kWs) ...

They have been trying to get the Fabia here full stop. Apparently Skoda CZ won't sell it to them cheap enough to compete here.

New FL Fabia is now available in Europe. Again it is amazing that how cheaper it is there. 1.2 TSI/63kW Fabia (slightly detuned version) starts at like AU$17,000 when current exchange rate is aplied. Surely, it does not cost that much for cars to be transported here??

Also I have heard though that Fabia RS is only available with DSG. No manual yet.

Wow - the hatch looks terrific. And that performance is hard to complain about!

The wagon version looks very awkward from the rear

You need to keep in mind that base model cars in Europe have way less equipment than here they don't even have spare wheels. When you spec up a European base car to the level of trim that an Australian model has the gap narrows considerably.
