Its 3 years since I last seen a Fabia. My mom had 1.9 TDI wagon, it was also the first car I had ever driven. Car was fantastic, for $12k you were getting everything you could ever want. Ac, ABS, SRS, Heated seats, alloys, on board computer and .... car that could go 100km on 5-6L of gas while doing 180 KM/H. I trully miss that car, it was amazingly nimble and had performance that no one expects. It is sad that Skodas are not being imported to USA, if they were I would have one in my garage. Older generations of octavia with 1.8T and later octavia RS with 200 HP ( if I remember correctly) would blow any imports in america. And Octavia RS had 270 KM/H on the speedometer.
