... so there she was... in the foyer... all red... 'flash red' actually... with dual tone dashboard... black and beige... and we couldn't keep ourselves from touching her! ... the all new skoda fabia is one fab car... (i STILL like the aggression of the Volkswagen Polo though!!)... Fabia is oh-so-coy looking... we wanted to know about the car... but the Fabia pamphlet was 'out-of-stock' ... really?? ... is it so much popular?? ... we realized that the two Fabias that were ogling at us were actually ready to be delivered to their patrons ... but we still managed to get the a test drive... and to be honest our enthusiasm was dampened! ... the ride was German ... in simple words hard... we were getting nervous ... with Polo already strike out of the shopping list option... we feared that we might end up with the cars of the lesser god...
... and then came the Knight with the shining armor... with his calm smile came seedhay saadhay Akshay ... we were pouring our heart out ... what unnerved him was our statement that Ritz is better when it comes to acceleration with its high revving engine... so he asked us to buckle-up and offered us a test ride ... yep! you heard it right it was a test ride and not a test drive... Akshay was in the driver's seat and Sharry in co-driver's ... i was trying to buckle in the rear but then the seat belt stalk was no where to be seen... i decided to hang-on to something...
... and then we were awestruck!! ... Skoda Fabia can pull three adults with AC on with such an ease that i felt slight disappointment on my Vista ... and i am comparing petrol versions of both the cars... and as if the ride and handling and NVH were not up-to-the-mark... we became involved in the live braking test... the Fabia was brought to a halt from decent high speed... and no squeaking no squealing no screeching and no skidding and that too in a straight line... alright this one had ABS but wat i am trying to say is that we were left super impressed with the Test-Ride ... and then more or less the winner was chosen ...
