General Comments

After 23 years in the motor trade, and after owning several really nice top marques (BMW Mercedes Lexus to name a few!) I bought a Skoda Octavia, closely followed by a Skoda Fabia 1.4 Elegance estate.

I thought the Octavia was good, but the Fabia family car is a tad better despite being a little smaller.

General 'Feel' is astonishing, as it is very light to drive, sweet and quiet with no creaks or rattles, and grips like a little limpet even in the wet.

The cabin is the class leader for space and quality furniture which is hardly surprising considering the mix of VW parts trimmed with slightly more exciting Czech upholstry!

All I can add is this. Drive a Fabia, and you will be seduced by it's overall brilliance and quality.
Ask every Skoda Fabia or Octavia owner the big question, and the answer is always the same. They love their Skodas, and I am no exception.

Mine is a 2002 1.4 16V Elegance (100bhp) and has covered 14000 fault free miles to date.
