When it comes to value-for-money motoring the Skoda Fabia is hard to beat – that's not to say that it's the cheapest supermini on sale, but when you consider the space and equipment on offer, you do get a lot for your money. Largely based on the previous-generation Volkswagen Polo, the Fabia is perfect for the cost-conscious world we live in. With a wide range of engines, VW Group quality and sharp styling, the Czech has seen the popularity of the Fabia grow, and the result is that it's challenging the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa at the top of buyers' wish lists. The exterior dimensions of the Skoda Fabia are about average for the class, and in fact nose-to-tail it's now 8mm shorter than the previous model. However there's an extra 90mm in its width, while the roof sits 31mm closer to the ground. The result is a sharp-looking car that looks squat and wide, and quite sporting, espacially with larger wheels. The cabin space is impressive, with plenty of width, and enough room for full-size adults to avoid rubbing shoulders up front. The rear bench is usefully accommodating too, with plenty of headroom and good legroom available. Behind you'll discover the 330-litre boot, which is almost as large as that found in cars from a sector above, which can be easily converted into a 1, 150-litre space by collapsing the rear seats. It's usefully shaped too, with a wider hatch opening than before, helping with larger items.
