Skoda Fabia in general Reviews

After driving my dad's Nissan Micra for the few months after passing my test, this is the first car I owned proper, and indeed still do own. I did do quite a lot of research before I bought the car, and overall I think I made a pretty good choice. It's not the most flashy car on the market, granted, I think it probably has a little bit of a ...  Read the complete review

This is my second Fabia, I've moved from the 1.2 htp to the 1.9tdi estate after my average millage increased to 35,000 p/a. The car has done 80,000 miles with no problems. I bought the Elegance with all the toys including Xenon headlamps which I recommend. Overall the car will manage 60mpg everyday without trying. 66mpg if I drive like a Nun!! Best car I've ever owned. No complaints

Three years ago, I took the plunge and bought my first brand new, off the forecourt car.... albeit on a budget. The Skoda Fabia drove well and considering the market available in March 2005, I opted for the base model 1.2 with 54 (or 56)bhp and none of the extras. I am still enjoying driving it today and although I got what I paid for, ...  Read the complete review

After his best mate bought a Skoda Fabia VRS my hubby had a bit of a play and after he ended up putting his MG TF in a ditch in the snow one February decided it was time he got a more sensible car, especially as we were to be married the following June and were planning to try for a baby straight away. Well the Skoda Fabia VRS is about ...  Read the complete review

Now on my second Fabia estate, this time a 1.4TDi 80 Bohemia version - lacking the anti slip control as I didn't buy it new - if you get one new specify it, its well worth the £50 extra but cannot be fitted retrospectively. Cruise was also fitted and I can recomend the VW electronic cruise, much better than my old manual version on the old car. I ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ Forget all the old jokes that used to do the rounds a few years back about Skoda. In the bad old days, these Czechoslovakian cars were without question one of the worst on the road, with “sewing machine” engines, and the build quality of a small boy’s go kart. But since they became part of the Volkswagen group, they have ...  Read the complete review

Recently my sister brought a Skodia Fabia Automatic Comfort car with A/C, but within couple of weeks, the car stalled for no reason, and it kept stalling. The service light also appeared, taking into account that this was a new car and servicing wasnt due for at least one year. She took it back to the service center, and they kept the car for 3 ...  Read the complete review

I thought of buying a Skoda Fabia when I needed to change my car last year. At that time, you could only get the 1.4 litre petrol engines and the five door hatchback. This didn't have a big enough boot for my family so I decided not to go for it in the end. However, if the estate version had been available, things might well have been ...  Read the complete review

Punchline: a skip The Skoda fabia range is the small car range from the czechoslovakian giant that is VW you heard me right. About a year ago skoda was taken over by the german giant VW and has ever since then been living up to the integrated branding that is the VW group. The Fabia range is fairly limited in scope ...  Read the complete review

I'm writing an opinion on the 1.4 16v which is one of the best superminis around. Since VW took over the skoda image and product has greatly improved. The 1.4 engine produces a whooping 100bhp which makes this quite a little speed machine with an 0-60 in just 11.5 and a maximum speed of 115mph does make this car super!! It ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

WOW! Car of the year? A 'skoda? What has gone wrong with the world? Surely Skoda make rubbishy little rust machines that do not go faster than snail pace? Wrong. The Fabia is a brilliant car - if a little dull to look at, it still has many many great features. Superb little Skoda! Yes, it seems as though the jokes are over as ...  Read the complete review

I sell lease cars through a large finance company and I get lots of opportunities to test drive various makes and models. I recently tried out the new Skoda Fabia range and found it very interesting. It is a chunky, klunky car with a very basic, plastic interior. However, at the price it retails for, it is a really good buy. This car will not ...  Read the complete review
