Skoda Fabia (New)

Owner verdict (Driver Power 2010):

Following the old Fabia into our chart was a tall order, yet this Skoda has risen to the challenge! Finishing 23 places above the MkI, it makes a healthy 12th place debut.

Soft suspension is good news for ride, but takes its toll on the handling. Let’s hope the forthcoming sportier variants can improve the dynamic scores.

Skoda Fabia (Old)

Owner verdict (Driver Power 2010):

The old-shape Fabia has reached the dizzy heights of the top five on two previous occasions, yet recent results have seen it slide down to 35th position.

The shine of MkI Fabia ownership has fizzled out in most categories – comfort and braking are singled out for particular criticism – but owners still appreciate its low running costs.
