Skoda Fabia Review. Here is why you need to get one!

This is our in-depth review of the latest 2023 Skoda Fabia. Available in dozens of colours and with lots of trim and engine options, could this be Howard’s new go-to small car? It’s even more of a conundrum considering Fabia and Polo leasing rates are closer than they’ve ever been before. So why should you choose a Fabia over the Volkswagen? For starters it’s got a tardis-like interior, impressive comfort and an excellent range of 1.0-litre petrol engine options. And dozens of Skoda’s “simply clever” ideas.
*Fabia monthly prices are very similar to the Polo, with the Fabia costing slightly more at the time of filming - around £210 per month compared to £200 per month. So which would you choose? Let us know in the comments!

Brother i think you should do a review about 1.5 tsi 150 hp Monte Carlo one, just bought it 3 days ago and its just mind blowing, 1200 ish kilos with that power 8kg/hp.Interior to exterior this thing even beats 320i's 520i's not to mention the interior with things like nice ambience lights and racing seat stuffs.

Im looking to finally get driving at 30 (better late than never!) And have been heavily considering this as a first car. As the "sensible mate everyone rings for advice" of my friend group looks like its a good fit for me 😅

The diesel in Europe is a frugal fuel machine we’ve used 3.7literes per hundred kilometres for an earlier model I think that’s great and comparable to a good hybrid and cheaper than any ev

You can't buy a new diesel Fabia in the UK anymore. Skoda dropped diesel from the Fabia range here a couple of years ago. There is no estate option here now either.....

No doubt - it is the best mini right now. Only problem is the price/taxes. A 1.0 Tsi with 110hp and dsg cost MORE than a Tesla Model 3 in my country. Fossil cars are very soon history. ;)

Electric cars with batteries it is history. I hope the stupidity in EU win then a lot of people move out from this mental sick place. Only Hydrogen or LPG cars a the moment.

The front of the Fabia looks like a Whale Shark feeding 8-))... And with that longish options list, it looks like Skoda have caught up with the rest of the world by not doing what they used to do. Actually having them all fitted to the car. But Howard makes a _so, so_ car sound... _Interesting._ ;-))...

Easy to understand engines, So why get it so very wrong.?? a 150ps is a 1.5 TSI ACT 4 cylinder and not a 1.0 TSI 3 Cylinder. So not all 1 engine with a manual or DSG.

Having driven one, the interiors are horrid and cheap and the 1l engines feel gutless compared to ford's. Gearbox is pretty tight but can't really tell when you're in 5th and gear changes are very jolty even for a 3 cyl. Decent infotainment and steering/handling are solid though and storage is good. For the price though, get something second hand that's better. You're only 3 grand less than a fiesta st at this point

Road noise is a problem with this fabia. Mine came new with "Goodyear efficient grip" tyres. These cause inacceptable road noise. I had these exchanged for the quietest available all season tyres, problem solved. Almost. The Goodyears are due for the bin. Nobody wants them.

What tyres worked best?

@baronvonklik7159 7 күн бұрын

@@leasingdotcom Based upon information available to me, I chose the Pirelli sp 2 all season tyres. Much quieter than the useless Goodyear "eco" tyres. It is unbelievable that Skoda fits these to their new cars, only to achieve fractionally better emissions. Green eco nonsense.

I mean if you have similar specs the SEAT is better being £3500 cheaper than the fabia on car wow at the time I posted this comment. And £4500 cheaper than the equivalent polo
