Skoda Fabia Estate Review

The SKoda Fabi Estate is a beautiful new compact hatchback from one of the premiere car manufacturers in Europe. There are several options you can choose when buying a Fabia Estate. The car comes with a choice of 69, 84 or 103 bhp 1.2 liter engines. Depending on the demands you will place on the car, we recommend you go with either of the two 1.6 Turbo-diesels which produce 89 0r 103bhp. If you want some performance while still being practical, you can choose the ‘Hot Hatch’ vRS version.

The Fabia Estate is a big car by compact class standards but it is still compact enough to handle city driving. There is a comfortable and smooth feeling while driving on the highway, with easy handling. There is a good amount of body lean when clinging to tight corners. All in all the car handles beautifully. The steering is accurate and light. There is more than enough grip when driving in slippery conditions.

You will have a bit of wind noise that builds up around the windscreen pillars as you increase your speed, however, the suspension and road noises do not usually break the calm inside the cabin. Too bad we cannot say the same for the engines. You will find that all 3 cylinder engines are a bit loud, even more so when traveling at low speeds. Still the loudest of them all is the 1.9 Liter. When compared to modern Diesel Engines, this one is gruff and loud.
