No there are no extra features and thats why its out of production now. Great car though.
But soon the Fabia is also going out of production. Where do we petrol heads go?
Yes Fabia is going will be eventually discontinued. We should wait for VW to launch 1.2 TSI which they will be launching very soon. It will be offered with the option of 6 Speed Manual or a 7 Speed DSG. Polo will be the first car to get it and afterwards Fabia. The Vento and Rapid might not get this engine. Ford will bring ECOBOOST ( Direct Injection) Petrol Engines. Honda is also planning to launch next gen City with Direct Injection Petrol engine sometime in End of 2013.
