Skoda Fabia Hatchback (00-07) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 2000 Fabia is another VW Group success story and further strengthens Skoda's reputation as a quality manufacturer. The styling divides opinion. It's well equipped, has a smooth ride and is cheaper and roomier than Volkswagen's own Polo. Some early models have minor quality issues, but overall it's well built and good value. 3.5 out of 5 Other Skoda reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Safety Four-star Euro NCAP safety rating and twin airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners on all models.
