Meet the new Skoda Fabia which not only looks modern, youthful and exciting, but reflects the company’s unique design direction, writes Don Booker.

It will offer improved comfort levels due to an increase in size over its predecessor and boot space will be 300 litres with seats up and 1,163 when folded. There will be seven engines, four petrol and three diesel and for the first time a six-speed automatic gearbox. It is in showrooms in May.
