OUR time with the latest iteration of Skoda’s Fabia is at an end, and over the last six months we’ve clockedup6,000 miles in our ‘simply clever’ supermini.
It’s fair to say that the current Fabia isn’t the newest kid on the block. As solid as we’ve found the Fabia in our time with it, one thing is quite apparent: thisMk3 car is ready to move on and graduate, hence why I choseOxfordUniversity as the destination for one last drive.
I’ve used the Fabia for my regular commute in and out of central London, while staff writer LukeWilkinsonhas chalked up plenty of miles, shuttling the Skodaup and down the long motorway between his home in London and family in Cumbria on several occasions.
Most of the Auto Express team have had a taste of the Fabia at some stage, too, which has led us to the conclusion that Skoda should think about adjusting its tagline for the Fabia from ‘simply clever’ to ‘simply sensible’. It’s definitely a mature student, not a rowdy fresher.
