I do not claim responsibility for that post. Just copy - pasted stuff with source.
My i10 has rear A/C vents, but under the seats, not the same type as in the Scorpio, Linea etc.

Does it have the dedicated rear ac vents like in Linea? I dont think so. The rear AC vents you are talking about are for under rear seats and work only when the air is directed towards feet. Almost all premium Hatchbacks have these vents, including Punto.

Fabia doesnt have rear ac vents like linea . It have same vents as that of punto.!!
Yes i agree. I just checked out the site and yes the ac vents are similar to the ones seen on hatches Punto and alike. I misinterpreted their statement which was made after the Fabia launch. But whats bothering me is that why this special REAR AC thing(I thought it to be like one we see in Linea) has been highlighted by Skoda when almost every other hatch has this feature.

Wow the pricing looks exciting as well the interiors.
But looks some features has been reduced to justify the price revision.
All the engines looks to be borrowed from Polo's table.

Like i said, I never had a doubt. But after seeing the features vs price. I feel Figo Titanium makes more sense then Fabia Ambiente TDI. Just that people will not carry the image or status symbol alongwith Figo (No offence to current FIGO owners) but feature wise they will not feel disapointed. Rather people buying Fabia now would feel the other way.
Just a thought. What's your take on that.

hurray am happy with price of new fabia and also with its looks but yeah skoda has lifted some features to make it for less value..but i think those are complaining can consider this as figo story! remember ford was also called expensive brand? but see what a success figo is..and maybe same will happen with fabia also now.
price of fabia 1.2MPi classic == price of i10 1.2magna
surprising!!
surprising!!
well. i was quite impressed with the pricing and the airbag part. but no power windows in classic? Not really acceptable.
I don't think dad will want to spend more again.We've already started spending the saved money.![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")
Fabia 1.2MPi classic has more premium feel than i10 and has one airbag also but lacks PW...
Hyundai overpriced I10 and is more costlier than wagonR![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")
