    Nice review of an adequate little car Doug. You spoke a fair bit about the boot space but didn’t reveal whether or not this car comes with a spare tyre. I guess not.

      Spare tyre is available at extra cost.

    Would you rather have this Skoda Fabia (£18,500) or an MG4 (£26,995)? 🤔

      Your comparing a c segment EV with 170bhp to a basic version of a b segment supermini with 95hp and a manual gearbox. Compare the MG4 to a DSG golf with at least 150hp.

      Have recently moved from a ’15 Fabia to a MG4. So that’s my answer! The Fabia is a great car. If anything, it’s losing it’s USP by going too up market. It’s very reliable, low cost maintenance, reasonable if a bit boring to drive, comfortable and provided good mpg. Mine was also only £20 a year tax. My first new car, 15 years ago, was a Seat Ibiza and that was similarly great.
      But the EV is fantastic to drive, more spacious, better fitted out and, in the long run, will provide better economy – even with the price rises in electric. I would say, the Corsa-e is a fairer comparison and the discounts available make it a very competitive price.

      Neither a Second hand Octavia would do me instead

      As with Alexander Stefanov’s comment earlier – you’re simply not comparing like-for-like cars with that question…!
      To match anything even close to the performance of the MG4, with an auto gearbox, you’d have to be looking at the 150PS Monte Carlo DSG – even then, it’s 0.5 seconds slower.
      But, then add on the options of sat nav and adaptive cruise which come as standard on the MG4 and you’re talking of the Fabia costing around £25,300…! 😵

    Fabia will always be decent car but throwing away that kind of money for any car in this class is insane. Prices of new cars are 30-50% more than they used to be 1 or 2 years ago, but our salaries are almost the same or maybe 5% higher than they used to be.
    Something is shady in car industry and that has nothing to do with war in Ukraine or chip shortages!

      Buying any new car is insane. The TSI 110 with high spec goes for about 16k EUR preregistered in Germany

    The problem with the TSI 95 is the 5sp gearbox. Come on VaG, it’s not 1995. I’d definitely ignore this advice and go for the 110.

      Nothing wrong with the 5sp in this. Ratios are long so revs are low at motorway speeds.

      @Peter Durnell long ratios cause issues at lower speeds though

      It’s great if you dont care, you can just drive 110kmh accelerate calmly and it does an immaculate job with room to spare for aggression when needed. But all in all if you’re a car person, the Tsi 95 is too weak. The 5th gear works fine but after 130kmh the rpm get annoying.

    Why did they get rid of the estate version ?

      Skoda couldn’t manufacture the estate and get the emissions levels down to meet the tough euro regulations.

    Lol… I’ve got both. I love my Fabia just as much. 1.0L petrol 110bhp, 350 miles and I’ve still over a third of a tank

    Very interesting I wouldn’t describe the gearbox as slick and smooth it feels a bit notchy and the 110 is so much better if you live in a hilly area you are not up and down the gearbox as much and and it has more pull basically feels more fun to drive, same goes for the Polo.

    Really like the Skoda brand, however a couple of years back who would have thought we would be saying 17K for a cheap car?

    Absolutely, nothing wrong with small and basic. I would however go for the 110 and not the 95. I am sure the 95 hp version would be okay around town. But it is a family car which means it will be loaded. It needs the extra grunt for for distance travelling as well.
