Find your perfect Fabia

Cars available now

The Skoda Fabia is practical, comfy and remains one of the best small cars on sale today. It's not as engaging to drive as the Seat Ibiza or as efficient as the Honda Jazz, but it’ll cost you less than the latter and still manages to be good in every area. A Renault Clio has a smarter interior, but if you’re after a new small car, it’s definitely worth including the Fabia on your shortlist. Our pick is the 1.0 95 TSI engine, while SE Comfort keeps costs down.

If 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.
