This is their first stab at a hot hatch - the diesel-powered Fabia vRS.

This is their first stab at a hot hatch - the diesel-powered Fabia vRS. Under the bonnet is a 1.9 TDI engine with a 130bhp. It's a different proposition to the traditional hot hatch and buyers looking for an instant buzz might be disappointed; the talents of the Fabia vRS are more subtle and take a little time to appreciate.But if that doesn't impress you, just remember you'll be getting double the fuel economy of a Focus RS.
