I've not seen any reviews of the Fabia facelift with the new engines. This seems odd as while the facelift doesn't look very different, the engine line-up is quite changed from the pre-facelift. Have Skoda not released cars to the press? They should: I notice WhatCar's summary reviews of the Fabia still refer to the old engines.

No better review than that of a satisfied owner!

Unfortunately for Skoda, not all its prospective customers use Briskoda!

I was thinking how weird that was the other day - there are loads in the country now so why no press reviews?

Its weird isnt it. I seem to remember Citroen doing the same with the C2 FL. For obvious reasons they seem to be using their marketing dept for the VAT offer.

Very good point, I wonder if it is because with the new engines it is probably a better offer than the polo and the factory is presently at capacity.

The Polo probably has better margins, Seat is on its knees as a brand so i guess skoda is low down the pecking order for the marketing budget.

Good to see this. AE's 0-60 and price seem a little innaccurate though, unless they're building in the no VAT offer on the latter

Possibly because VW want it that way..or it will take sales away from the Polo
