    New Fabia Review Incredibly Positive

    Skoda Fabia 2015 Review – Car Reviews, News & Advice - carsales.com.au

    Very positive review. I love this little thing, so tempted to buy it as a run-about haha (which I totally don't need!).

    Impressive lineup, good pricing. Makes you wonder why Skoda aren't kicking more goals. I honestly thought they'd be doing better than they are with the quality of the Octavia and Scout.

    Due to more tech, and updated style I have changed my decision on purchasing a 66TSI Polo, and going to get a Fabia instead!

    Automatic City breaking, rear parking sensors, and apple car play/andriod auto sold me!

    Thinking of a Rally Green colour concept (Potentially with a panoramic sunroof) not sure. Almost looks like an RS!

    I bought a Polo in June because I needed a car right then and there but if the Fabia had been around I probably would have opted for it. Great reviews and awards in Europe you won't be disappointed.

    Except the Polo has been updated

    Composition Media 6.5-inch (replaces Composition Colour 5.0-inch) high resolution touchscreen display
    App-Connect USB interface for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink
    Reverse-view camera

    All polos have cruise control. The Fabia 66tSI does not

    agreed, but you still miss out on leather wrapt steering wheel and controls, all the new safety features and rear sensors, and can get alloys, colour concept, cruise and LED DRLs for 1500 on top. so for 17.5k you get everything on the 81 TSI besides from the higher tune.

    camera isn't a big deal for me because its such a small car anyway, wasn't even worried about sensors.

    Drove the new wagon today - Very impressive! Stock wont be in for a while, but it looks fantastic in person, and moves along quite nicely, considering the low output. Probably placing an order soon

    hi, I assume you ordered the 81tsi as you got premium sports kit. you wouldn't happen to know how the 66tsi manual drove. I ordered one 2 weeks ago, could only drive 81 hatch. haven't even been able to see a wagon in Newcastle.

    Didnt drive the 66tsi - no chance of have seen a wagon on the road yet - the dealer demos at the moment are MY15 models, which are missing some kit and are, at the moment.
