Skoda Fabia Estate (2015-2017) Review and Prices
The Skoda Fabia estate is a well-built supermini, with a much bigger boot than the hatchback it is based upon. Small estate cars are few and far between so the Fabia’s only direct rival is the SEAT Ibiza ST estate, although buyers should also consider the budget Dacia Logan and the roomy Nissan Note.

Is the Skoda Fabia Estate (2015-2017) a good car?
The best fuel economy in the range goes to the 1.4-litre diesel, which gets more than 80mpg, but unless you cover a huge mileage the spritely (and cheaper to buy) 89hp 1.2-litre TSI petrol is a better bet. All are easy to drive and have reassuring handling but won’t provide much driver excitement.
If you’re not familiar with the Fabia range, you may be surprised to find just how much you get for your money – even basic S versions boast electric front windows, tyre pressure monitoring and DAB radio. We would spend a little extra on SE trim, though, which comes with air conditioning as standard.
Effectively a cut-price VW Polo, the Skoda Fabia estate is nicely built and has a huge boot

If you want plenty of boot space, but don’t want a big car, the Skoda Fabia estate could well be the car for you. It has smart looks, a well-built interior, decent levels of standard equipment, cheap running costs and (ignoring the 1.0-litre petrol) peppy performance.
How much is the Skoda Fabia Estate (2015-2017)?

How practical is it?
The Skoda Fabia estate can fit a remarkable amount of people and luggage inside, but it’s a bit of a squeeze if you want to get three passengers across the rear bench
You can't help but like something that gives you so much space for so little money
What's it like to drive?
Although the manufacturer claims that 44 per cent of the new Fabia estate is based on VW’s high-tech MQB platform, the car is really a substantially re-worked version of the old model.
The 1.2-litre petrol blends zippy performance with penny-pinching fuel economy
What's it like inside?
What Skoda has done with the Fabia estate is really quite clever, as it delivers more space than just about anything else of its size.
