The model
Read full Skoda Fabia reviewThe Skoda Fabia is practical, comfy and good value for money, and remains one of the best small cars on sale today. It isn’t as engaging to drive as the Seat Ibiza or as efficient as the Honda Jazz, but it’ll cost you less and still manages to be good in every area. If you’re after a new small car, definitely include the Fabia on your shortlist.
The trim
See full equipmentOpting for Colour Edition gets you jazzier looks, including 16in alloy wheels, privacy glass and door mirrors painted the same colour as the roof. You also get an 8.0in touchscreen infotainment system, keyless entry and a virtual cockpit digital display behind the steering wheel.
The engine
See full engine specsIf you want as much oomph as possible, the 1.5 TSI 150 is the engine you’ll want to go for. Producing 148bhp, it reduces the 0-62mph sprint time to 8.0sec and, as you might expect, feels far quicker than the Fabia’s other offerings. You can only have this engine with top-spec Monte Carlo trim, though, and it’s only available with the DSG automatic gearbox.
