Really nice review of the facelift. Love the seats and the new LED-option. I've come to the same realisation about the Fabia as Thomas did in the video. It comes to a point where you could get a Octavia with decent options for the same price as a facelifted Fabia equipped with most of the options. But a nice car nonetheless. Thanks for (as always) providing a review packed with Info and great cinematic shots.

This is not a small car. If you compare the interior space of Karoq and Fabia, you will find just 4 cm difference inside (2cm on each side) wide-wise. The trick the manufacturers do is to make somewhat similar interior space, but inflate it on the outside, to look SUV-like. And to rise it up with 5 cm. And you think you have bigger car, and you pay way more than you have to.

Another brilliant review Thomas. Thank you I always rely on your reviews as I change my car so often. The current Kodiaq is my 75th car! Could I ask that in your reviews you measure the boot length and width. Litres of space means very little to most people and it is never clear in the manufacturers blurb if the volume is measured to the ceiling or the bottom of the windows. The actual size would be much more useful for most people I think.

@autogefuehl 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks colin! We usually show a trolley in the trunk to measure a practical size. Do you like that, or would you really prefer centimeter measurement

@colinlambert791 6 жыл бұрын

Thomas, Centimeter would be best as it is difficult to judge the size of any luggage that may be used. I asked you to do that before the Kodiaq came out and you were kind enough to do it.. I have 2 large dogs, that is why boot size is so important for me. Or you could us 2 Greyhounds :-) Many thanks. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your reviews and have recommended them to any of my friends looking to buy a new car!

@@autogefuehl I had a 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage, gifted as part of mums estate. That was noisy but it was the base model. If you have driven one, is it comparable or quieter? With the adaptive cruise control as standard now, a big selling point for me, I'm seriously looking at the Fabia, with cross traffic alert. Even with the Jeep I can't see past SUV's when reversing and scared I'll hit a car going past.

@leoborros 6 жыл бұрын

I dont really like the new headlights, I prefer the pre-facelift ones, but the car overall is a very good alternative to the Polo, which I find somewhat expensive for what it offers. Slap a TGI engine on the Fabia and you have an amazingly reliable and somewhat impervious alternative to the ups and downs of gas prices. I was looking forward to that review.

Good review Thomas. Strange this car is not build on the MQB A0 platform! Like my Ibiza. But also strange the Ibiza don’t have the blind spot option and USB Ports in the back of the car. And No interior lights in the back. I have also a question to you and your team: a lot of cars get new headlight light systems these days. This new fabia also. I think it should be a plus for your channel to ad a review on the headlights also. Like you did on the new Audi a6. Especially When carmakers come with updated headlights like this fabia. I always very interested in it but almost no single car reviewer take attention to it. Really a pitty. The technique on led headlights is moving constantly.

Hi Mark - possibly a laudable idea to ask manufacturers to specify their various headlight lumens etc. But LOL! Comparable scientific light measurements - like sound measurements - like emission tests will keep Thomas busy in a lab for a while! Also ask Thomas to do paint depth quality tests, and spring rate/rebound tests also during his two hours he gets to review a car...!

Had a Fabia 2 Estate facelift, 1.6 TDI 75cp, 4 cylinders, all good but lacking options a bit, switched to Fabia 3 Estate 1.4 TDI 90cp, 3 cylinders, it was a nightmare, flywheel went bust at 42000km, engine has never worked well.

I just bought this car by Volkswagens My Way, in the Style version, one year old, 12500 km, and paid 17500 €. It drives perfectly and is very spacious. My previous car was a Jaguar S-type, 6 cylinders 3000 cc, that I sold after 8 years because it consumed 19 liter/100km. Taxes and insurance were out of hell. Finally I calculated that I paid over 14000 € over the cost of another normal car to drive the Jag S-type in these 8 years. So now I am very happy with this Skoda Fabia Combi, and I tell my friends I am getting rich driving it...

Another great review ! Wish we had Skoda here in the states. It would be nice competition for the market but it would probably be kind of redundant because of what VW ad Audi are here. I’m thinking of buying a 2018 Golf GTI SE, that’s our middle trim here. S,SE and Autobahn. A lot of people seem to like going the middle trim route. They come well equipped. They start at around $26,000 and top off at $35,000 for the Autobahn. I’ll be getting the infamous Clark Plaid seats and Dark Iron Blue Metallic paint on the outside. 6-spd DSG. Leather is too hot for here in Florida. During the sommer you could virtually fry. That’s why I want the cloth. What do you think ? Am I choosing right ? Love the reviews ! Keep up the great work.

After noting that 95% of the taxi’s in town are Skoda Octavia’s, I decided a Skoda would be my next car to replace my ancient oil leaking Picasso. I spent a lot of time bouncing back and forth between the Fabia and Octavia. I finally decided an Octavia estate or “combi” would be best for family needs. Mine is a mk 2 2012 1.6 diesel. I don’t like the mk 3 design at all. Gone is that excellent rich chrome grill surround that gave the car its identity. And I don’t get these sharp creases they’ve put in the panels. The mk 3 looks like it’s had a slight rear end shunt ? Now if I can just get the upgraded toys in my mk 2, perfect !

An excellent review Thomas. I have not seen much of your work, but as the owner of a Fabia Combi (Estate, Wagon, whatever!!! I wish we could agree on a term. Damn those German car manufacturers. At least we can get past ‘Shooting brake’ as that’s just dumb) sorry I got a bit off track, MY2018 in Australia, I am very interested in what is coming out. We get even less spec than the UK!! No choice of seat style or colour. Just a black/grey combo. I even had to import the Vario Floor for my boot space from the Czech Republic as Skoda Australia refused to import it!! (As well as the ice scraper!!). FYI Thomas. In the Fabia Combi you can lift the rear seat cushion up before folding down the seat back. With the Vario Floor in place this gives a perfectly flat floor that is about 1.7m long. At 1.8m tall I can sleep diagonally in it. This is similar to my old Saab 9-5 Estate (R.I.P.) but as a journalist recently said here in Australia, ‘As I can’t buy a Saab any more, the Skoda Superb Estate is what I would now buy’ Pretty high praise for what is considered a very, very small car brand here in Australia. Thanks for you review Thomas. I look forward to viewing more of your work

jboltnz I got onto a company called Skoda Parts. I think it was a bit of a shock someone wanting them to send the Vario Floor overs was as it soon became listed as pick up only. I used a Czech only site to get all the Skoda part numbered and just searched their site for what I wanted. A guy called Miloslav was very helpful. If I can find the website I’ll post it here. They also sent me the Euro panel with seat heater and Passenger Airbag light rather than just have all those blanks. I haven’t bothered with connecting the other stuff up but I think it looks a lot better. They also have a red leather DSG gearknob and handbrake lever I’ve had installed, the previously mentioned ice scraper and a wooden coat valet for the back of the seat that connects to the steel headrest posts. I wish it had come with a leather and electric seat option as its the best small car I’ve owned.

How is this car different from previous one? It looks exactly the same as mine bought in 2017.

I do like it, but nowadays I feel like VW are more interested in Seat over skoda. I used to always see seat at the bottom but not anymore

This fabia looks good, but I still don't understand who is buying highest versions like monte carlo instead of better class car...

Hello Thomas, I've driven a lot of different new cars in this segment and never was really happy with the clutch feeling when start rolling when it was a 3 cyl. What do you think?

Missed a lot of information for me - sorry - I know the size, performance etc, but you mention new safety tech, but what is it ? does it stop you? does it keep you in lane, blind spot yes, full lane keeping? - can you get a sunroof? lumbar support ? (keyless I assumed as the key was in the drinks bit) but keyless opening ? do the lights auto adjust to oncoming traffic ? the list goes on, could you re do this review? (sorry thats mean !) but you focused on what we already know.

@autogefuehl 6 жыл бұрын

sure I ll delete the video, fly back to Prague and ask for the vehicle one more time :D

@autogefuehl 6 жыл бұрын

and now to your questions: there is no full active lane keeping assist. New assistance systems are as I said blind spot monitor, auto light assist (thats no selective high beam for oncoming traffic) and rear traffic alert. Sunroof has always been available both for hatch and estate. Never heard of lumbar support function for the fabia. Keyless of course yes. Any other questions? :-) So actually the only things I did not mention was the new rear traffic alert (which most people wont buy since you have to spec the car big time then), do you really think we have to re-do the review for that? The whole review mentions almost everything there is new with the Fabia, if you have watched full length.

We can all learn from our mistakes, its not criticism, its was a poor review from a safety aspect (other than the chap changing lanes helped really :-) ) and very rare from Tomas, an excellent and my favourite car reviewer.

Mildly rude and patronising, lets call it language issues on this occasion - we look to you to inform us, or whats your relevance ? you ask for comments, please in future ask for only wonderful and glowing comments :-) My point is, I did not come away fully informed ? maybe I missed it, maybe it was not clear, rare from you, as you cover extremely well as I have commented before. My wife is looking to order this car, so thats why I probably wanted too much information on this specific review.
