Skoda Fabia 2004 Hatchback
Fabia (Rs) very dynamic both on acceleration and braking, stable in turns. Overtaking is not a problem. I doubt 9.6-9.4 seconds to 100 km/n indicated in technical data, I think this car get better. Eats not much fuel. No great extras inside (although it is plus or minus as if it is taken). Nothing in car does not rattle.

Pros: Fabia (Rs) very dynamic both on acceleration and braking, stable in turns. Overtaking is not a problem. I doubt 9.6-9.4 seconds to 100 km/n indicated in technical data, I think this car get better. Eats not much fuel. No great extras inside (although it is plus or minus as if it is taken). Nothing in car does not rattle.
Cons: The main minus is little clearance between front tires. The engine is low, so with pan gets down to cracks. I don't know about winter (it frightens). Driving through a gravel roads may be good to hear beating of stones (poor sound insulation). Small mirrors.
