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.
