Small aggressive "cutter"

Interim results from the long-term tests o rulment roata ruville pret.

OUR SKODA FABIA MONTE CARLO with a test price of 68,000 BGN is not a bargain. Still, with its 4.11 meters, the car is in the small car category, where people want cars under 40,000 BGN. Still, the “Czech” has a lot to offer for its money, even after 61,000 kilometers. The available space is surprisingly good for passengers in the front row and even in the back you can last for a while if you are an adult. The sports seats are tightly upholstered and also offer good lateral support. This also speaks of the quality, as well as the fact that the signs of wear in the interior are only minimal. The switches and buttons also show no wear and are as sturdy as they were on the first day. It is a pity that the smartphone cannot be connected wirelessly to the central display; a USB-C cable is always needed. But there is no disconnection here, as we have already seen in other long tests. The Fabia, however, gets the biggest praise for its 150 hp engine. It accelerates the 1.3-ton vehicle so effortlessly that the driver, nestled in the sports integral seats, is even able to tease the big “boys” on the highway. The little “racer” bites hard at speeds over 200 km/h.

+ a large portion of driving pleasure, decent fuel consumption, suitable for long trips.

– small trunk, rattling closing doors, poor headlight cleaning system.
