Just got back from a trip there. The Skoda Fabia is basically a Jetta. I loved its huge deep storage capacity and it was pretty comfortable to sit in, but the first time I went to pass somebody on the road it scared the daylights out of me - zero acceleration. We definitely get spoiled by our Saabs.
It also scared me when it thought I was approaching a car ahead of me too quickly and it automatically put on the brakes (car in front was turning right into a side road so I could tell it would be out of my way by the time I got to where it was so I didn't slow down much - Skoda had other ideas). When you're not expecting that, it definitely gets your heart rate going!
