I don't think the plastics are any different all a load of rubbish, it's all down to badge snobbery VW can drop the price of the Fabia due to the larger profits from the Polo. In manufacturing it's all smoke and mirrors, make people think they are getting a better car by different marketing using badge snobbery and the UK has buckets of that a marketing managers dream. While car journalist keep saying the quality is not as good because it's a Skoda the likes of the marketing team are always on a winner, a go ahead to increase the prices of their so called premium cars!!!
Infotainment this .. screen size that.... Android auto Bla Bla Bla Apple car....😴 It's a car, I want to know how it drives, how it feels, mileage, what engine and engine tech does it get. Don't bore me with cellphone specs.
Great review. Would moving from a mk7 Golf to a monte carlo be a wise move I wonder? Also, on brakes, are they drum brakes on entry models and disc brakes on higher spec?
@@itselvizremember this car is a supermini the mk7s interior quality is worlds away from these(everything you touch is the same quality e.g steering wheel hand break gear leaver) but if u want a smaller car these are still very good car’s for the price just remember what this car is
@@MJ-uk6luWhich is so desperately needed now, since Fabia “officially” does not got combi version! Plus, Scala is a just a tad better car overall for not much price increase 😉
Only problem its not best value,its pretty expensive now and i don't see point of buying new skoda fabia when you can buy 2-3 year old bigger and more equipped car for same money
You reviewers always say 'you CAN get a DSG Automatic but to be honest i wouldn't bother, the manual is great and you can save yourself some money' Maybe some of US want an Auto ! Have you ever thought that !

Chill out dude. You'll pop your o-ring.
Is it me or Skodas are starting to look like beamers these days?
It's just you.
I'd take a skoda over BMW any day for reliability.
It kinda looks better to be honest. A bit true though
Mini 1 series I see it
More reliable less hassle than a silly big waste of money car bmw
Get rid of the damned entertainment screen and I think the new Fabia could be a nice car.
I am the great fan of this car.. thanks for the video
Looks good imo. A sensible buy. Would love to own it.

Just to note All fabia dsg are 7 speed not 6 as reported.

Did you end up doing it? I am in the same dillema :)

You got me at "TARDIS-like practicality" 🤣 I've got a 3rd generation Fabia, lovely and surprisingly powerful car.
The Ibiza is the cheapest when you compare trim levels
Give us some detail on FABIA SE TSI DSG model
In No way shape or form the ibiza is a better trim level then the fabia
Awesome review! Well done. Enjoyed every second of it.
Thanks Fred!
You wouldn't bother with a dsg? You would bother with changing gears instead?
What is the ground clearance?
Any global NCAP ratings?
5/5 on ncap
I can't get it, why are the Brits pronounce Ibiza "Ibitha'??? Why?
That's how its pronounced in Spanish. th-cam.com/video/iGtSnZWJwJQ/w-d-xo.html
I dunno, why can't Spanish people pronounce Llangollen perfectly?
..... because it's how we Brits say it. 'I-beetha'. And not 'E-veetza'.
I always went by "ee-bee-tza". Don't know the correct way though.
In Spanish the Z is pronounced as TH hence IBEETHA
USB near mirror v good idea. I hate trailing wires for dashcam. Good presenter.
USB port for the dash cam, best idea 👌👌
I want a vrs version😬
Us too…
Car reminds on bmw 1
The Scala us a better choice, the fabuia is good, but to me the Scala is better choice.
Scala is just Fabia Combi

So, What models have the satnav as standard??
The DSG on the 1.0 TSI has 7 gears not 6!
oh jeah, verry practikabillity from the Morning Funktion good only!
Thank you for a very helpful review.
The 1.5 tsi auto is excellent and should be part of the polo spec
It’s an ice scraper/magnifying glass and tread depth gauge
Only problem its not best value,its pretty expensive now and i don't see point of buying new skoda fabia when you can buy 2-3 year old bigger and more equipped car for same money
But you end up with an older car, more mileage, less warranty and sooner for parts to decay and wear.
No Estate ! - NO new Fabia !😠
400th like 👍
The "car olympics" really taint your otherwise excellent reviews.
Why can't the British say Skoda correctly?!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe because, just like everyone else on planet earth, they lack a perfect understanding of pronunciation in all the worlds many languages.
: SCHKODDA !
