    So I wrote to Skoda Australia about this (don't get angry, get active):

    "Why is Skoda Australia cutting our choices for the Fabia?
    I would really like to buy a new Fabia hatch 66 TSI, but the...

    Let Skoda Australia know your gripes. I did, after my thread in the Fabia forum - said how much those in NZ get all the good variants and options for Fabia, and Oz doesn't. Apparently, they have...

    Absolutely brilliant day, with lots of great classic dubs, sadly only 2 Audi and no Skodas. Here are a few of my pics....

    You are right about snowballs chance for getting options. I dropped in to a Skoda dealer somewhere south of Wollongong and said I lived in Sydney. "What would it take for you to come back down here...

    You know, I had a closer look at new car photos. It looks like the 81TSI DSG models of the Fabia hatch come standard with a centre armrest, but the 66TSI manuals don't. Maybe only the DSG models also...
  6. Can you choose non-standard options for a new Skoda?

    Wondering if anyone has managed to order a new Skoda with your own custom choices, like paint and interior options. I don't mean picking from the limited official options for your model (using the...

    I think I found an answer: The Monte Carlo replaced the vRS and sold in huge numbers in Europe:

    Why so many Monte Carlo?

    Been poring over the car sales sites the last month looking for a Fabia. But why are there so many Monte Carlo for sale? It's not just used cars from 2011/12, but new variants in stock seem to focus...

    Fabia 77TSI - difference between engines

    Been reading threads about how the 2011 model which has a "CAVE" engine uses more oil than a 2012 model, which apparently has the CTHE engine. Am looking at purchasing a 2012 model - are these engine...

    Took the car dealer's Polo for a test run and it is a nice machine. I especially like the acceleration when the turbo kicks in - amazing for a 1.2 litre. The only thing stopping a purchase is the...

    First timer

    Hey, I'm new to the VW scene, having had only Mitsubishi's the last 25 years.
    My Golf was the most researched car I've ever bought - pitted petrol against diesel, VW vs Citroen vs Peugeot vs...
