The model

Read full review

The Skoda Fabia is a fine small car and incredible value for money if you choose carefully. We reckon the 1.0 TSI 95 in SE trim makes the most sense considering the performance and equipment you get. If you want a small car that's even roomier and cheaper then look at the fantastic Dacia Sandero, while if it's superior handling you're after, try the dynamic Ford Fiesta.

The trim

See full equipment

Colour Edition models are in effect the same as SE, but with some added styling bling. While cruise control is a handy addition, the most noticeable changes are 16in alloy wheels that, along with the roof and door mirror casings, contrast the main body colour.

The engine

See full engine specs

The 59bhp 1.0-litre MPI petrol engine that kicks off the range is just about adequate around town, but you’ll find its shortage of oomph frustrating on faster roads (0-62mph takes 16.2sec).
