Skoda Fabia Estate review - What Car?

Very little can rival the Fabia Estate’s blend of flexibility, ease of use and comfort. It’s a fantastic small car.

Base models don't get air-conditioning and all versions are more expensive than the equivalent hatchback. However, all models are spacious, practical and good to drive.

What do you think of the Skoda Fabia Estate? Let us know in the comments below.

I have the best small estate ever. 1.2turbo an 7 speed auto clutch. Keep looking at other cars but they never match up, go figure

I wonder why VW don't offer a Polo Estate, considering SEAT and ŠKODA offer estate variants of their superminis

I'm looking to buy this as a family car (family with 2 kids, one teen and one primary school kid), would it suit that purpose?

I have owned for 1 & 1/2 years the previous Fabia 2 105tdi Elegance estate. Based in SW France we have been to Germany twice, Brittany & Spain, most of my driving is fast country roads & autoroute, I average 55mpg. The sport suspension / seats / 16" wheels do give a firm ride, but very precise handling. Carrying bicycles or all the stuff we take to our boat inc dinghy & outboard, no problem.

Fashion statement this car is not, it's a family swiss army knife of a car. I have had coupe's & hot hatches in my younger days, nowadays I don't give a monkeys what you see as I drive by. Those that have experienced modern Skoda's see tutonic German engineering without paying for badge snobbery.

Would you mind doing the new honda jazz review?

[johnrose]

Watch out...Skoda seem to have changed the rear seat base on the Series 3 estate, so now you can't fold the seat base forward to allow the rear seat backs to fold forward flat enough to give a near horizontal surface.

I wish the estate version had been NCAP safety tested. I know they mentioned the hatchback version had. Does anyone know about how the tests might compare?

[keithisaacs]

The skoda is no longer a cheap car its only ever been cheap in price after all your getting a Vw built car
