Hi, how you doing? lol.

Honestly I don’t even want to defend the quality of VW. I probably won’t get VW for my next car (maybe I will if the Scirocco is coming to Aus, but I will sell it before warranty runs out lol), and don’t get me wrong, it was your passion about skoda which made me believe they must be really good cars (but ugly looking IN MY OPINION).

When I said ‘Skoda should pay you’ its just a joke, lol. I mean Skoda should really appreciate that they got supportive customers like you. You are probably more passionate about the car than their sales staff.

Cheers! XD

If only they ditched that Toyota Avalonesque grille.
IMO the rest of the styling detail is excellent.

Ah, my best friend! Wow, after all these months you’re still having a go at me! Put simply, I’m defending Skoda so much because I’m one of the few out there who know just how wonderful they really are, something you cannot match. It’s the same way as I wouldn’t know about how great Volkswagens are, so therefore you can comment on and defend them. See my point?

I’m a decent kind of person (for instance, I’m not gonna comment on VW quality after you have said that some things have gone in your VW R-Line – which R-Line though? – !), but someone suggesting that I should be paid by Skoda as I’ve given them lots of ‘publicity’ is just not right!

To everyone, if you don’t like this Fabia Scout, then tell me what EXACTLY should be done to it for you to like it? If you think its ugly, suggest how it could be made better. If you don’t like it and you don’t exactly know how it could be improved then you are in no position to comment.

I buy for myself, so making anyone envi ous is not in my interest… Nor would i find it a positive point…

I don’t see how you could call a newborn baby elegant?? Quite the opposite i believe!

Anyway looks are subjective…

I’m a 29 year old male, so “cute” and “sexy” is not for me.
And I reckon I’m a bit too old to try to get a really agressive looking car!!

And given that elegance can be defined as “1. tastefully fine or luxurious in dress, style, design, etc.: elegant furnishings.
2. gracefully refined and dignified, as in tastes, habits, or literary style: an elegant young gentleman; an elegant prosodist.
3. graceful in form or movement: an elegant wave of the hand.
4. appropriate to refined taste: a man devoted to elegant pursuits.
5. excellent; fine; superior: an absolutely elegant wine.
6. (of scientific, technical, or mathematical theories, solutions, etc.) gracefully concise and simple; admirably succinct.”

I don’t want a car someone has described as “elegant” Know body is going to be envious of an “elegant” car are they?
Skoda has a pool of awesome, aggressive, trendy, se3y designs from VW to inspire a team of engineers and designers to come up with something well beyond anything that could be described by a word that people use when talking about a newborn baby animal. I’m looking for Grrrrrrrr, get out of the way, not Owwww how cute, can I have a cuddle.

The Salesman, I guess your not into elegant looking cars then?! ;-)

I don’t know what have people got againts the looks of the skoda on this site??

I’m yet to see an european review that doesn’t praise any of the current fabia, octavia, superb’s elegant looks!!

Like i said, i reckon only the black plastic grill ruins it!!

Hi, I am currently driving a R range VW with DSG. It is great car to drive but there’s always small issues. (Cd player wont play, heated seat doesn’t work, airbag light on for no reason, etc. Lucky its still under the warranty, and VW dealers are quite nice)

But you are right, my last car was 6sp manual Honda Accord Euro(I still think it is great car, great engine and very good interior). Never broken down for once in 4 years ownership.

I used to have one toyota long time ago, didn’t really like it a lot, but I understand it is appealing to people who doesn’t really care about cars, therefore I do respect toyota.

This is the only name i ever used on this site. Never used others, BM used to call me Dan and someother names, but I am not any of them.

HAHHA very nice to hear that!

I am Chinese living in Aus (not rare isn’t it), looks like my english has improved while arguing with a range of so called enemies! LOL.

Wheelnut and BM used to accuse me for ‘poor english’ and ‘having trouble understanding’, now you proved they are wrong. =P

As for the style, apart from the strictly black only plastic grill (bit of a vw sabotage i reckon), i genuinely love the look of them!!

Can somebody please tell me what car in the 80’s resembled the fabia?!

I’d expect to see your name b4 entering this skoda topic. LOL. Skoda really should start to pay you some $ for the hard work marketing you’ve done for them.

Again in my opinion this Fabia Scout thing is so ugly. But it’s a good car I guess.

However a large number of buyers who’s looking at this kind of small cars are young female, the looking of the car will be an important factor for their purchase.
