  • NEW PRICE: £9,885 - £17,830
  • USED PRICE: From £1,695

The Skoda Fabia is a cleanly-styled, well-built supermini available as a five-door hatchback or a mini-estate. Similar to the Volkswagen Polo, a close relation, it is more utility oriented, with practical packaging and a no-nonsense image. The second-generation models (from 2007) are notably bigger and more sophisticated.  

New Skoda Fabia reviews

The new Skoda Fabia is well built, sensibly styled and available in a variety of engine and trim specifications to please a broad demographic. Every derivative offers decent value for money and scores well for reliability, from the hot hatch Skoda Fabia vRS to the economy-oriented Greenline models. It's not quite as cheap as you'd think, however.

    Skoda's Fabia returns in a much updated form. Available with everything from a basic 1.2 petrol engine up to a poky 1.9 diesel, is there a Fabia to suit you?
  • Skoda Fabia Estate (2007-)

    New price: £11,225 - £17,830

    Skoda's Fabia is now available in estate form. The hatchback version is pretty family-friendly, so does the estate add a lot to the formula?

Used Skoda Fabia reviews

Its looks may not set your pulse racing, but the Skoda Fabia is well-built and pleasant to drive, thanks to good ride quality and precise steering. The early models are still quite dear - even 10-year old cars with high mileage are £1000-plus - and there are cheaper secondhand superminis, but the price reflects the Fabia's popularity and owners' loyalty.
