    Skoda Fabia - Why Would you?

    Why would you buy one of these over a Polo GTI?

    Don't get me wrong, that thing is ugly as sin, but it's more of a sleeper then the not quite as ugly, but still bloody ugly Polo GTI. Chip it, dump it, and watch it take on the older V8, then watch them wonder what the he'll it was... Until the DSG let's go...

    get GIAC onto it + coilies etc, and you've got a serious ass kicking sleeper.

    thats what i must say i like about skoda - no one knows what the hell they are. your average falcodore driver would look at a fabia vrs and think "heh.... mercedes A180"

    Why would you buy a Skoda vRS instead of a Golf GTI?

    I just depends on how the car is packaged & what the street price is.

    Can't see how much cheaper then a GTI a vRS can get to be honest. Fabia makes more sense the lower you go on spec though. Not a looker but then VWs off-springs are not exactly jaw dropping gorgeous these days, either. Fact is, the more options on the market the better, isn't it?

    'Conservatively styled cabin doesn't match the sporty seats, nor this car's spicey driver appeal. The too-small price saving over the Polo may puzzle buyers still stymied by Skoda's fuddy-duddy past.'

    Seriously, I don't think you could option this thing in any way to make it attractive in terms of either looks or price.
