Skoda Fabia

Few manufacturers have transformed brand perception over recent years more than Skoda, and the fashionable Fabia supermini, one of the older models in the Czech firm’s range, has been instrumental for attracting a new younger audience.

A genuine rival to big sellers like the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, the Fabia, unlike the aforementioned, is also available as an estate.

First launched in 1999, the third-generation came to the UK late in 2014 and has picked up a string of awards thanks to its practical features, roomy cabin, generous kit levels and range of frugal engines.
