D
petent when it came to things like prac ticality, build quality and value for money, the Fabia has never been a supermini to set your heart pounding and your bottom lip drooling after the briefest encounter. The latest model follows along these
low key lines and, as you would imagine, grafting on an estate body style does lit tle for its charisina quota. You discount the Fabia Estate at
your peril though. This highly user- friendly car might have the capacity to seduce you on the sly. In the main, power options for the Fabia Estate mirror those of the Fabia

hatch. Some 70 b.h.p. is the starting point as the amount delivered by the 12- valve 1.2-litre HTP engine, and from there petrol buyers can step on to a 1.4- litre 16-valve with 85 b.h.p. or the 1.6- litre 16-valve with 105 b.h.p. Anyone after rip-snorting perform
ance should not really he looking at a Fabia Estate in the first place, but if you want a bit more muscle for getting heavy payloads oft the line, one of the 70 b.h.p. 1.4 TDI, 80 b.h.p. 1.4 TDI or 105 b.h.p. 1.9 TDI diesels should suffice. These direct injection oil-burners lack refinement, not being the supermini sec tor’s most advanced units, but they do not come up short of mid-range urge. Even the 70 b.h.p. option turns in

210Nm at 1,600 r.p.m. The petrol engines are smoother, but the 1.2-litre has to work hard to get a fully loaded Fabia Estate moving. Thankfully, Estate does with out the weedier 60 b.h.p. 1.2-litre unit offered in the hatch back. The Estate is only 20kg heavier than
the hatchback, so it drives much the same - that is pretty dam well for those unfamiliar \vith Skoda’s supermini. The Fabia’s suspension handles rough sur faces with some grace, but remains com posed through the comers, with far less body roll than you would experience in a taller supermini-based MPV. The pointy steering also helps the car deliver a pleasant driving experience. It

is no ball of fire, regardless of the enpne you pick, but it has the basics nailed down, making it an amiable companion across the full range of UK road condi tions. If room is your thing, the Fabia is a
good supermini to go for, so it follows that the estate is not short of capacity. It is actually nearly 24cm longer than its hatchback relative, and viewing the two cars side by side you can believe it. The estate looks altogether lither and less stubby with its extra side window and the shallow angle of its tailgate. The extra dimensions have helped
Skoda engineers achieve a 480-litre boot capacity with the seats up, some 180 litres more than you will cram into the
hatchback. Fold the 60/40 split rear seats flat (a less than straightforward operation that involves removing the headrests) and there is al,460 litres. That is 297 litres up on the hatchback. The strengths of Skoda’s Fabia super
mini are its interior space, build quality and value for money. All of which bodes well for the estate version, which grafts on additional practicality courtesy of its extended boot. A potential capacity of 1,460 litres with the rear seats folded is not to be sniffed at - and neither are the high-quality cabin and the lengthy equipment list. The latest Fabia drives well and the
Estate version inhents that poise on the road.
