Reviewed a 2015 Skoda Fabia on 20 Nov 2021
I love this car! It has exceeded my expectations. Ive had the car for a few days, filled it up for £57 and have driven about 200 miles and there is still over half a tank left. It really is a joy to drive. Gear changing is smooth, it absorbs the bumps in the road really well. Its nippy around town and is really good to drive on the motorways picking up speed very quickly. It doesnt make too much noise when driving on the motorway. The surround sound is brilliant. Its spacious inside. I love the touchscreen functions. Love the fact also that it looks a bit sporty. I highly recommend it.

The Skoda Fabia 1.4 petrol is a cracking little car, packed brim full with useful features. It consistently comes in the top 5 small estate cars. Easy to drive, loads of space, all the safety features, excellent adjustment for seat height, fire and aft adjustment and steering wheel adjustment. Quiet to drive and very economical. Highly recommended

Quick Summary
The Skoda Fabia Mk4 is a spacious, practical, and comfortable supermini that embodies Skoda's philosophy of delivering a bigger car for a smaller price. Built on the MQB-A0 platform, it offers an exceptionally generous interior with 380 litres of boot space—matching the Volkswagen Golf and Seat Leon from the class above. The cabin quality rivals anything in its segment, with sophisticated plastics and finishes throughout. Powered by a range of petrol engines from 79bhp to 148bhp, the Fabia delivers impressive refinement and competitive fuel economy, with the best claiming 56.8mpg. The driving experience prioritises comfort over excitement, with excellent bump absorption and a quiet, relaxed demeanour.
For those seeking more excitement, the new Fabia 130 offers a 174bhp turbocharged 1.5-litre engine with a seven-speed DSG gearbox, stiffer suspension, and recalibrated steering, accelerating to 62mph in 7.4 seconds. Available in multiple trim levels with comprehensive technology and safety features, the Fabia represents outstanding value for budget-conscious buyers and growing families. Running costs are competitive, with low VED charges for new models and strong residual appeal.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers, growing families seeking practicality and space, and those prioritising comfort and refinement over dynamic handling.
Not ideal for: Drivers seeking thrilling performance or engaging handling dynamics, or those requiring a manual gearbox in the sportier Fabia 130 variant.
