This is our in-depth review of the latest 2023 Skoda Fabia. Available in dozens of colours and with lots of trim and engine options, could this be Howard’s new go-to small car? It’s even more of a conundrum considering Fabia and Polo leasing rates are closer than they’ve ever been before. So why should you choose a Fabia over the Volkswagen? For starters it’s got a tardis-like interior, impressive comfort and an excellent range of 1.0-litre petrol engine options. And dozens of Skoda’s “simply clever” ideas.

*Fabia monthly prices are very similar to the Polo, with the Fabia costing slightly more at the time of filming – around £210 per month compared to £200 per month. So which would you choose? Let us know in the comments!
