Skoda Fabia Estate (2015 - 2021) 1.2 TSI Monte Carlo 5d Owner Review

Bought this car to replace my Seat Ibiza estate, as Seat had don't make an estate version of the new Ibiza. Very pleased with the car so far, despite them both being based on the same car, it feels like a real step up. Really looks the part in red, with contrasting 17 inch gloss black wheels and black mirrors and bady kit. Looks great. And inside there's splashed of red. People are always surprised it's a Skoda. There's also a generous equipment list, including parking sensors (which I really like) a full length glass roof, and a large touch screen with android auto. It also has a very large boot with it being the estate model. Interestingly though, the capacity is rated at 530 litres, and my Ibiza estate was 420 litres. Oh would expect there to be a huge difference in size, but it seems exactly the same size, which is odd. Also my Ibiza had the older 1.2 tsi 105 engine, and the Skdoa has the newer 1.2 tsi 110 engine, which is a completely new engine. The stats say that the newer engine should be better in fuel, whereas I've noticed that it's worse on fuel than the Seat, which is also odd. I think Skoda are more optimistic with there MPG figures than Seat. But all in all, I'm thoroughly enjoying this car. And has a huge boot for the size of car, really a great choice if your budget doesn't stretch to a larger car, and you need the boot space.
