You probably know that if the car model is supplied with an RS index, then under the hood of a car, as well as a potential owner, pleasant surprises await the potential owner.
As a rule, in the International Automobile Classification, the RS index indicates a car belonging to the sports class: Rally Sport. In the case of the car that we will talk about today – Skoda Fabia – the RS model index is unlikely to say that you have a sports car, but some sports “bells out” in it are still present in it.
In truth, Skoda cars cannot be called the most innovative, the manufacturer is not often pleased with the “charged” cars of this brand, but this hatchback can really be called a “hot little thing”. Outwardly the car looks fit, but there is nothing athletic in its appearance. So what does this hatchback do interesting for car owners who are not enough standard models.
To begin with, of course, let’s take a look at the hood of Fabia RS: a powerful 180-horsepower gasoline engine with a volume of 1, 4 liters is hidden there. Indeed, for such a small car, the engine power is enough with a serious excess – the main thing is not to swing. The stream neighbors probably do not expect from a modest -like car of such agility, but they will only watch with envy when the Fabia RS driver rapidly starts from the intersection. Well-in appearance, the car can be underestimated, confusing with the standard 80-horsepower Fabia. Meanwhile, the technical characteristics of the car allow him to gain speed of 100 km/h for the minimum time – 7, 3 seconds.
In a couple to the motor, manufacturers gave a seven -speed robotic transmission. But the engine “nature” of the car was not limited to the engine. The model suspension is also more rigid compared to the standard version, but even in everyday city conditions, inconvenience does not cause inconvenience. Also, the car has a steering wheel similar to sports machines – it has a rather heavy and has a small supply of turnover.
Outwardly the car looks restrained, inside it does not please with special comfort, but it does not interfere with enjoying the trip. The plastic of the roasting panel looks a little solid, but the quality of the assembly of the parts and the overall impression is worthy. By the way, if you want to learn more about this model, you can use such a source of information as the Internet – there are always car reviews and detailed descriptions of technical characteristics. When studying the features of the operation of Skoda Fabia RS, pay attention to the fact that this car cannot be called budget: the gasoline consumption of the engine is approximately 11, 5 liters in mixed mode. Yes, and the oil consumption is considerable: you will have to add half a liter for every thousand kilometers of run.
