The model
Read full reviewThe 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.

See full equipmentUpgrades to Monte Carlo spec are purely cosmetic, but it costs quite a bit more. This is by far the sportiest-looking Fabia, but doesn't have any more power.
The engine
See full engine specsYou're better off spending a bit extra on this turbocharged petrol engine over the entry-level 1.0 MPI. It has load more low-rev pull, so is better suited to B-roads and motorways, and generally just makes for a more relaxed driving experience.
