Octy is a 11-12lakh rupees car (just like Civic) so in a sense Fabia is a more affordable Skoda. A Rs. 8 lakh 1.4l Petrol Elegante has everything in that one wants in a good luxury car (for 10lakh or less) that even puts sedans in the same price range to shame. |
I wholeheartedly agree with your views on considering the Fabia as the hatch version of Octy. But... What about the engine? I don't mean they are bad at all. But we expect more powerful engines at that price. Atleast the 1.9TDI.

Agreed these sedans might not have many features. But..
Fiesta P-out and out driver's car
Verna D-same as above
SX4 - Loaded to the tooth at a throwaway price. Just wait for the 1.9DDiS
The above cars are targetted at different audience.
