Have you driven the Skoda Fabia 1.2DSG?

I have just purchased a Skoda Fabia 1.2 DSG and consider it a great car. I'm very happy with the performance for a small car and, compared to the small Toyota automatic, it is excellent. You recently said you had not yet driven one - have you tested it yet?

I was disappointed with the fuel economy.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
