2020 Skoda Fabia Estate review - Is it still the best small estate? | What Car?

The Skoda Fabia won the What Car? Car of the Year Award a few years back, in part thanks to its fine road manners, comfortable interior and affordability. The Fabia Estate builds on the hatch’s already impressive credentials with the addition of an even larger boot.

The estate is soooo much better looking than the hatchback. It looks balanced.

Omg Rebecca talking normally and not trying to put on a odd presenter voice that goes up and down as the sentence is delivered. This is SO much better, keep it up :D

The scratchy plastic test! Who the Hell goes around scratching their dashboards with painted nails for Chrissake.

The Estate is 10" longer than the Hatchback, but what a difference those few extra inches make for load carrying!

As an owner of the car for 5 year now and looking at 3 different reviews of this car on this channel i'm suprised by the points that they bring up ...
All the things that have botherd me over the years are totally the opposite here .
-plenty of power with a full booth they say... i've got the 109bhp version and even that one struggles with a full booth on the motorway .. up to 70mph is its power zone . If you
Want to do an quick overtake you'll have to go down to 5th it really lacks power in sixt @ those speeds .
Plenty of space in the back even for adults ... also not really true . If you have someone that is 1.80m in the front you will have to put the seat almost all the way back to let him sit comfortable .. so the back wont have the space . I personally could fit a maxi cosi behind the drivers seat because of that issue .
3th is the sound proofing .. try to listen to the radio on a normal volume . Then step out of the car even with all doors and windows shut. You'll almost won't notice a drop in volume .. i find this sometimes quite annoying when coming home late @night.
It's not that i want to hate on the car it really served me well over the years and i really like . For that price range i dont think you will find a beter car (sold new) . I just realised while watching this that the cons i have had with the are told there like they are pro's...
well if you made it all the way here . Thanks for reading such a long comment 😀 hope it helps you in making a choice

2:45 Is there much sense comparing the interior quality to Audi A1, which literally costs 9000 euros more, the base model? For 9000 euros you better get switches made out of gold and ivory.

I've owned a mk2 and a mk3 Monte Carlo estate, love them both. The 1.0 3 cyl TSi 110 BHP is brilliant. I regularly see 60 and 70 mpg from it.

I find these reviews so handy for when I choose a car for rent. Living in Africa doesn't allow me to know many of the models available in the UK and Europe.

I think the 12 volt connection is for a cool box if you go camping. So you can still run it while driving. 😊

Ms. Jackson really makes any car review very interesting, even the most boring mundane ones.

Nice review. Slightly amazed this car has more boot space than my (fairly generous) BMW!

[kevinmoore]

Will be purchasing one of these over the new 2020 Honda Jazz because Skoda have ticked my boxes

Rebecca, I know you've taken a bit of flak lately i.e., the Quentin Willson comparisons, but this review is really good. As many comments say, just relax your voice a bit and don't be tense. Your reviews are so much better for it. And the banana returns!! So what a nice review:)

The best first car estate you can buy in 2019

How come the estate version of the Fabia gets a variable boot floor, but the hatchback version doesn’t?

[Paulcrastinator]

What Car's videos in general became a lot better when they stopped doing those slightly pointless phone pairing segments.

[Max-hyud]

Why do you use the Prefacelift and call the Video 2020?

[sebbetjorn]

I think it supposed to be compared with clio wagon for example bcs its a city car focus is compact car...

[ErikVanRent]

The title says '2020' but it was uploaded in 2018?

Can you explain the Distance control on the cruise control which comes standard
