Imagine if the Fab handled as well as a Mini Cooper !
The Fab would run circles around it.

If you want a vRS Fabia TDi that out handles a Mini Cooper then get a Ibiza Cupra 160. For some reason the SEAT is much more fun to drive, I just like the Fabia more for some reason.

My friend who has a chipped Fabia also has lowered it and it handles better, but also clangs off speed humps if he isn't careful.

Aye, never been to the UK but much of my bloodline comes from that side of the pond, so I feel a bit of a kinship to those in Europe. It's kinda a blast experiencing the different cultures from thousands of miles away.
