The Skoda Fabia is practical, comfy, well priced and remains one of the best small cars on sale today. True, some rivals might be better to drive, more efficient or nicer inside, but it still manages to be good in every area and should be on your small-car shortlist. Our pick is the 1.0 95 TSI engine, while SE Edition keeps costs down.
The Fabia's entry-level 1.0 MPI 80 engine does without a turbocharger. We haven't tried it yet, but the official stats say it takes more than 15 seconds to get from 0-62mph, so expect weedy real-world performance. We'd only consider this engine if you're a dedicated town driver.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
