There is ample head room and rear room for even tall drivers. The interiors are well appointed and pleasant enough to make even long journeys comfortable.
The Skoda Fabia is available in six stunning colours - Brilliant Silver, Corrida Red, Satin Grey, Cappuccino beige, Candy White and Magic Black.
I have recently purchased the Skoda Fabia classic
and I feel rave about it!
However I feel that I have paid a lot of price for this car. Initially, I was inclined on the Swift but some of my friends suggested I wait till the Skoda is launched.
The petrol version is really good (That’s the one I have) It is really great in all respects i.e exteriors, interiors etc. and has stunning premium range features, but I have paid a hefty price tag to own the Skoda Fabia.
