    4 Stars Excellent quality car, shame about the badge 17/01/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Economical, powerful, very reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be noisy, Skoda badge!

    I've had my Fabia for about 3 years now and have had no major problems with it. In fact the only thing that has gone wrong is when the fuel flap would not lock shut, but that was fixed free of charge by a Skoda dealer. Engine Quite remarkable really. If you drive it carefully you can get 60+mpg without any bother and without travelling unduly slowly. In fact I once got 72mpg on a drive from Norwich to Cromer and back, just driving normally along the country roads. Having said that, if you stick your foot down the acceleration is impressive for a 'normal' car. I have had mine up to 110mph on an ... more

    5 Stars Skoda Fabia 1.9tdi estate Review with images 20/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Price, economical, comfortable, fast acceleration, vast storage space

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I bought my first Skoda 5 years ago when I retired from my full time occupation. I had intended to buy a decent second hand model but on visiting the dealer, I was so impressed with the estate version of the 1.9tdi Fabia, that I took the plunge. Having since had 100% reliability, economical fuel consumption , the added bonus of quick off the mark acceleration for an exceptionally value for money price, I am glad I took the plunge as I have not regretted my choice of car. Capacious boot space that takes all my golf clubs, trolley and more without having to lower the rear seats is also something ... more

    5 Stars Skoda Fabia - Car of the Year 29/07/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nippy, Comfortable, Economic, Secure

    Disadvantages Disadvantages CD extra cost, No Electric Windows in back

    Mechanically it's a VW with VW build quality. Excellent 3 year warranty means trouble-free motoring for three years. It may not be the prettiest car on the block but it's functional, has more room that you would expect in a super mini/compact class with split rear seats for extra flexibility. The air conditioning is temperature controlled - though it would be better to see the climate control rig that appears in the Octavia and Superb. Big minus - CD player is extra - why on a top of the range car? only skoda knows! Otherwise, be prepared for 55mpg with a nippy, turbo-boosted acceleration and ... more

    5 Stars Best car ever! 02/12/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages frugal economy; more for less without doubt

    Disadvantages Disadvantages looks, if that really worries you

    Just on three years ago I purchased a Fabia 1.9TDi Elegance Estate - and can say that it is the best car purchase I have ever made. The consumption has got to be its best feature - I have averaged 19000 miles per annum with a lot of motorway mileage but have consistently returned 63 mpg. The comfort level is perfectly adequate. I am not tired or stiff after 250-300 mile journeys and the driving position is great - the ability to raise/lower the seat is a bonus - I get a slightly higher driving position without the weight/drag of a big, heavy vehicle. My car has not been in the garage apart ... more
