Advantages: well made, good value

Disadvantages: Skoda still a poor image ?

Suprising Skoda, that used to be their advertising phrase. Trouble was that it suprised you for all the wrong reasons, poorly made rear engined Estelles that went well but had such a bad reputation due to poor brand image.

My first car was a Skoda coupe, I've kept quiet about that for years ! Nowadays owning up to having a Skoda isn't something to be ashamed about.

The company has been transformed since being taken over by Volkswagen. They now produce parts for use in other VW / Audi vehicles so the quality has to be good. This was named car of the year last year so it obviously has potential, it has also had some excellant motoring press reviews.

Having seen the Fabia at the motorshow I was quite impressed. It's a well made, modern small family hatchback that's well specified. The car is available with 3 different trim levels and three different engines, including a diesel. Prices range from £7700 to £9700, this represents very good value for money considering the quality that VW have built into the car.
