Fabia RS wagon opinions

I think you can get black rails instead

I thought black roof rails were standard equipment?

I only thought they were silver?

Still I wish they were not even there! The pics in the sales brocures showed the car without them.

Beleive it or not, the roof rails and the standard stereo are two of the reasons I didnt go ahead and order one. There is not even the option to upgrade the stereo to the Columbus in Aust.

The optional Sat Nav is the Amunsden.

I wasnt told that was even available?...

You're correct, they don't offer it here in Australia; very stupid decision if you ask me. Yes no-one would choose it but it would be nice to have the option of it, much like 17" wheels on the standard Fabia.

I just ordered one. Looks good to me, price:performance is great.
Car is Platin Grey, black wheels and sunroof. Might get lucky and get it before Christmas yet.
Back should be big enough to get the bike in (f wheel off). That makes it as good as my old Saab. The Polo is just too small.
Only issue was VAG wont do the towbar, heated seats or headlamp washers out here. Guess they haven't thought much about those of us in the country. Btw, the green one in Canberra sold last week.
Price for mine (lease) was very good - from Northside Skoda, Sydney

Sat nav missing is ok for me - I prefer the tomtom anyway. Would be good to get the colour screen though. Might end up with a Polo one in it one day...

Wagon better than hatch in some aspects including looks... Great size and not much dearer than Hatch either.

Quite like the look from outside and the length improves the height concern for me, that or lower springs!

Shop around and you will find one, although not many have any options in first shipment. A white one is local and if we could have seen one before our hatch arrived it may well have been parked in driveway instead.

Hatch still awesome and unlike some here ours was less than 30k on road, without options.

Still had to wait and by what I was told there are not many first brought in.

Might buy another as it is well worth it.
