Really tempted by the Fabia estate, but not in yellow! I have a 2007 focus at the moment, where does the fabia compare in regards to drive-ability and space as you mentioned it was close to the smaller fiesta.
Dat moment when the fabia (not estate) has more features than the polo (better headlights, better infotainment system, and some more gimmicks) while costing 3 grand less (in my country). Just ordered a 110bhp fabia with dsg. (you can't get the other good stuff on the lower models where i live and the price difference is pretty insignificant)
Hi, I am interested in getting a Skoda Fabia Estate SE L. I have a question about the skoda mirrorlink. Mirrorlinking the phone to the dashboard touchscreen is great, but are there any glitches or bugs? I have watched Mirrorlink reviews in youtube and it seems to be very glitchy. The screen goes black whenever the car is in motion, and the youtube video shows that when using satnav, the satnav video goes black screen whenever the car starts to move. totally ruins the satnav function. is this problem still not fixed?
mjrage24 Hi, thanks for the comment. Whether or not the screen still goes black may vary from car to car, but we found it was a bit inconsistent more than anything. Unlike Bluetooth which you can set-up in a matter of seconds, Mirrorlink really does take some getting used to and even when you learn the ins and outs, its unpredictable nature can mean its a nuisance. It definitely still needs a bit of work. We would rather have a standard sat-nav and media system any day.
Car Keys UK thanks for the comment mate. I will think this clearly before deciding to get a Fabia estate. its cheap, thats why Im getting it. LOL. great car review videos, mate. one of the best
***** with an iphone?? how is it with an android phone? I have a Sony Experia Z3. is your iphone satnav work well and reflect on the mirrorlink? im glad you liked the car. I am going to get mine soon hopefully. thank you so much for the info
There is an option when order one, to get a double floor in the estate, so when you fold the seats you will get a flat surface, and some practical hideawat space for the shady types out there.
pretty good review, good job! i'm pleasantly surprised, you got a new subscriber. introduce yourself in the beginning, introduce the car and slow down the pace a bit a make it feel like you're showing the car off to a mate who's looking to buy a new one.
Michael Thompson Hi Michael, thanks for the comment. I remember asking the Skoda guys on the launch of the Fabia and they said that there is no sat-nav option as very few people specified it on the last-generation. Less than 1% in fact! So they decided to just get rid of it.
Hi Richard, you mentioned that the estate is 226mm wider than the hatch... Really?? You had already mentioned the 265mm increased length ;)
i got a quartz Grey 110 dsg, extremely happy with it. highly recommend it!
Me to luv it😊
The estate looks much better than the hatchback.

Have just ordered the 1.2 tsi 108 dsg looking forward to it.
Production quality goes up everytime I visit. :D
Omg looks really nice in and out didn't expect this from skoda. This in a vrs diesel would be lovely.

I like Skoda Fabia Estate 2015 review - Car Keys
not an other estate car where the rear seats don't fold flat, what's the point
They does, you just have to fold the seat base down to the floor first.
There is an option when order one, to get a double floor in the estate, so when you fold the seats you will get a flat surface, and some practical hideawat space for the shady types out there.
Why not buy a used VW?
In inches does anyone know the width of this boot?
pretty good review, good job! i'm pleasantly surprised, you got a new subscriber.
introduce yourself in the beginning, introduce the car and slow down the pace a bit a make it feel like you're showing the car off to a mate who's looking to buy a new one.
Looks very much like the rapid space back
I agree but more interior space in Combi than the SPACEBACK?
i really like the yellow but they are rare
whats with the 2 phones
シュコダの信頼性の高さはWRCで実証済み。欲しいな！
