New Skoda Fabia vs used Volkswagen T-Roc: verdict

The Fabia is a great small car, but for similar money, you could pick up a used T-Roc SUV. So, which is the better buy?...

New Skoda Fabia vs used Volkswagen T-Roc

Our verdict

With its spacious interior, hushed road manners and supple ride, the Skoda Fabia continues to prove itself one of the best small cars on sale and a great buy. 

However, the Volkswagen T-Roc feels the more premium buy and thoroughly so – enough to compensate for it being a two-year-old used car. It has a plusher interior, a richer kit list and a better driving experience. On top of that, it'll lose less money in depreciation than the Fabia over the next few years. It's the option we'd go for.
