Used Skoda Fabia vRS (2003 - 2007) Comfort Review by Parkers on 13 Mar 2006 Last Updated: 06 Feb 2009 4.5 Skoda has been doing pretty well under VW's wing, launching an increasingly impressive model line-up that now challenges its parent company in terms of performance and refinement. This is their first stab at a hot hatch - the diesel-powered Fabia vRS. Latest Skoda Fabia vRS review Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Gallery 4 out of 5 Comfort View full gallery Sound levels are suppressed on the whole, but there are some crashes over large potholes. It's roomy enough in the back for two adults and the front passenger should be happy with head and legroom, too. Interior is simple and uses attractive, high quality, materials. 3.5 out of 5 Practicality View full gallery Reasonable boot space for a supermini - you'll get a couple of cases in without having to resort to using the back seats. The rear seats are split folding for extra flexibility. Cubbies in the cabin include a large air conditioned glove box, doorbins, a box under the stereo and a cubby under the steering wheel, which is ideal for hiding a mobile phone, or loose change.

The no-nonsense approach is retained for the layout: all the switches and buttons are exactly where they should be. The speedo is a bit of an anomaly - it counts every ten mph to 90mph, then suddenly jumps to 110 mph, then 130mph as the next increments.The seats are very supportive even under vigorous cornering conditions. The contrasting light and dark fabric looks very attractive but also shows up dirt and other marks. Steering wheel is adjustable for reach and rake.
