Another well presented no bias and informative video Tish. I had a pre-facelift 2015 SEL 6 speed manual 1.2L model version for over 4 years for my daily 80 mile round trip commute to work and it was fantastic. The new version from a specification perspective trumps that one probably in all areas bar one, the new one has become softer but still looks really good and those tail lights clusters are bang up to date. Although I miss the sharper lines of the older model it still has that Fabia shape and if I was in the market for this class of car it would be top of my test drive list. It may not be the best brand preference, best handling or most responsive but would probably suite the go anywhere do anything and general living with the car better than a lot of the other options currently available. It's the thinking persons car for definite. Thanks for sharing.
I recently bought a new Fabia and I' m very happy of it. I paid a little and have a decent new car that is even prettier than most of the same segment. It's safe, interactive and honest
The Fabia was the best selling car in Slovakia and the Czech Republic in 2021. When I go to Slovakia in 1.5 weeks time, I am very likely to see a lot of Fabias and other Škoda models. Wonderful review as always niece Tish.
First watched your channel when I was looking to buy the BMW 2 SERIES GRAN COUPE nearly two years back and you actually sold it to me. I’ve been checking in on your channel and many congratulations on all the subscribers you now have.
I am a driving instructor and teach in a Skoda Citigo. The former Fabia was 9cm wider than the Citigo which concerned me. Some of my customers are very nervous so want a car that is as easy as possible to drive. The moving grill sounds very clever. I am looking forward to seeing this in the flesh at Wings in Peterborough. Thank you.
Nice review. I’m waiting for my Colour Edition in white with black roof to arrive. Can’t wait! I think the new Fabia is the best looking out of the Ibiza and Polo by far. And it’s definitely the best looking Skoda ever.
@@hobbayne ok! I ordered mine around the 15th March. Should be 16 weeks but because I’ve added some extras ( rear disc brakes, wireless connection and Winter pack) which may effect the 16 weeks. So it’s due anytime. Please check the options list because depending on the model, there are a lot! Disc brakes rear = £100.00 At least it’s an option!
@@hobbayne I’ve waited 4 months for mine and want it by August so I’ve cancelled and gone to get a better, cheaper SKODA MONTE CARLO. So it’s between 16 weeks and 24. There are some available if you shop around but they may not have many good options on them. The one I’m getting is a standard car now and should be here very soon 🤞
It would be useful to know about things like fuel economy and maybe insurance group or servicing intervals in these videos. For a budget car, other aspects of the overall cost of ownership are of great concern to buyers. Just a thought.
There is a 6 month wait for one of these due to covid, Brexit and the war in Ukraine. I was lucky the dealer had one to test drive. He agreed to sell me that one.
Looks like a very nice car. I do wish that Škoda would release sportier versions, but I guess that’s what Seat is for? Still, a Fabia GT with the 1.4T from the Golf would be nice.
At last a Schkoda on the channel. Great little car apart from the grandma wheel trims. I had previous gen SE as a loan for a couple of weeks and being very impressed. Then I checked the price and couldn’t believe it was cheaper than a coffee either. Hopefully you will be able to fully try a L&K Schuperb Estate sometime and let us know how the NVH compares to the premium stuff
How about test driving some Ssangyongs Natisha then if your not a brand snop? I would love to see and hear your opinions on the Tivoli, the Korando and the Musso.
It looks like Skoda have tried really hard within the limitations they have to work in, because truth be told, any car company in the VW group probably has to play second fiddle to the parent company themselves, and spend half their time raiding the VW parts bin for what they can get hold of. This car alone though, for the price, highlights one of the biggest problems with EV's now and how expensive they are. For most consumers, EV's just aren't an option, and despite being told EV sales are booming, what you're not told is that a very large percetange are sold to business/fleet customers and not your average person. Good, honest review though.
It is funny how one tester perceives the all grey+black interior as "smart and stylish", while others immediately say it is boring and unexciting, etc.
When is the Estate or Combi coming to the UK? Currently Skoda is still offering the old-shape old design version. The Estate of this new version could be ideal for my next car; there seems to be no competition so it's a Fabia Estate or nothing (something completely different)
Unfortunately, Skoda have confirmed no Estate version. I have a Fabia Estate and I love it, but to be fair, a Skoda Scala has about the same boot space.
Skoda do look rather nice. but they are a expensive niche brand in Australia. Not to mention they are part of the VW group and the whole diesel gate scandal is a bit of a turn off.
@@AutoSocialUK I suppose the fact that you love the Megane and the fabia does indeed make you a bit of a chav… that plus your ungodly love for spoilers lol The fact that you actually own a lupo also means that you are not entirely a chav… which is actually quite reassuring.
@@AutoSocialUK VW brand cars are the same the earlier skoda cars i mean the skoda cars that would do high miles had old diesel engines from the late 90s in them but now they get the vw up to date tech which is nothing to write home about vw cars now are not reliable off the subject abit the hyundai ix35 diesels there engine chains are breaking i do feel cars are like phones now built to break and change
@@jdmguy44 what car? Car of the year in 2000 and 2015. The Fabia is safe, robust, durable, reliable and practical, with plenty of thoughtful touches and has a good range of engines. If that isn't great, then I don't know what is!!!!
This is the best looking Fabia so far. It’s gorgeous 🎉
Excellent review , so well presented and full of info . Thankyou . I'm buying one NOW!
Nice to see a lady presenter for a change as well!
This is a fabulous looking Skoda Fabia, haven't made my mind up what Model to get, they all look great and I'm sure they are comfortable..
They now have the 110bhp engine available with a 6 speed manual which I think is the perfect combo for this car. Currently top of my shortlist!!

Very good review I have the new Monte Carlo 1.0ltr 110 DSG my sister liked it that much she picks hers up on Saturday 1.5 DSG 👍🏻
You convinced me to buy this. I bought one with 95hp, 2022 model, graphite gray, 20k mileage… 16.5k euros
Just bought a 80hp 2022 50k km for 14.5k euros. Very excited
@@namenullvoidWow you got a great deal. Is it manual or Automatic? How is it going so far? Also which country? I am from Germany

My wife had a Citigo. She is very nervous about driving the newer wider Fabia, but I hope she will get used to it.
@@hobbayne if she is a visual learner just get her to get out of the car and look if she is parking.
Great video Tish. the 1.5 Monte Carlo version with the DSG gearbox will be on my shortlist when I upgrade my Citigo
I’m gutted I missed out on the Monte Carlo launch!! Looking forward to trying it
Wow, Skoda have really put the fab in Fabia

The Monte Carlo is the sporty version but only cosmetic not engine based. They have a sporty Kodiaq performance vRS
@@zappybazinga8124 There used to be a Fabia RS. The 1.5T Monte Carlo will have to do, I guess, though it only comes with the DSG, and not a manual.
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. If It was me then I would chose the SE L Trim
Skoda build really good cars our 2021 fabia 110 is brilliant
Great channel - keep up the good work.

Very nice story teller reviewer
Thanks a ton
the review is amazing and as well you are so beautiful
What about the 110hp manual, shown as an option online
Like the new fabia ace review tish
Great car
Does it get a space saver tyer, why don't you presenters ever mention about spare wheels we need these .
looks more like a base model seat ibiza mk6. similar boot size too
Nice car and you wear nice outfit
Thank you very much
As it's best car
Actually prefer the Seat Ibiza interior to the Skoda Fabia!
The screen is definitely better, I just really don’t like the light up air vents
I love me a Nissan micra but this new Fabia blows it way out of the water
I think Dorothy has lost her Toto!🐕
Gosh you are busy !
Hahahha you’re telling me!
Decent looking car…even though it does look like the love child from the Mercedes A Class and BMW 1 Series 😵💫
Do you think so? 🤔 I don’t see it

6 months more to come mine 😂 whyyy so long
I bought Skoda Fabia 2019 with 1.0 TSI 95. I would not recommend it to anybody.
Why?
Fabia was discontinued in India....
The NEW Fabia is very good, but ...NO Estate !
I Like my 2016 Fabia Estate with 110 PS , a perfect Car !
But : WHY Not a Estate ????
Good and impressive presentation Frome you big up and like your sweet dress
She said she is a “chav deep at heart” in her 2022 alpine 110 review video and now she says she is not a brand snob which is not very chav behaviour.
Completely disagree, the best ‘Chav’d’ up cars aren’t expensive brands. Give me a slammed Megane any day

Very nice review, noce car n big think ur Cute face n voice u
Rather a Audi A1 z
Really? Smaller boot. Less interior space. Way more expensive. There isn’t a lot to recommend an A1 over a Fabia or indeed an Ibiza.
@@zappybazinga8124 And less practicality with only front doors !
Liked the review! But please no to sitting on the bonnet! :D
it's 2022 and Skoda released a car with wind down rear windows.. yikes.
Great video but id touch nothing from the vw group cars there rubbish

Jazz hands
No vrs.. boring
This has to be the dullest most boring B segment product out there. There is nothing remotely interesting or characterful about it.
Millions would disagree. 4.5million to be precise, because that's how many Fabias have been sold since the first generation of 1999!!!!!!!
