2015 Fabia Monte

[Dan.Poulter]

I wouldn't go for that with a barge pole. terrible deal

Really? How come?

[Oni]

Ive been offered the show room model, its standard white, with the 1.2 90BHP. Trading in my Fabia Monte carlo TECH 1.2 105BHP with 30500miles.

 

Im doing insurance quote today and then I said I will make the deal over the phone this afternoon and then I can register the car and pick it up Friday.

 

The only thing holding me back right now is the engine and the seat colour, Im not sure if I will notice the 15BHP difference but I will definitely miss the opportunity to get a 6th gear. As Im not a massive fan of the 5spd on the Old Fabia, especally when on the motorway.

 

The price they have quoted me is £15895.

 

What do you guys think?

The list price of my Monte Carlo 1.2 110 including options was £16,545. Metallic paint and spare wheel and more powerful than the model you are looking at... Got it for £15,000 including dealer contribution and I didn't even haggle that hard (I hate haggling). Pretty sure they would have went lower but I was in a rush. This was on the 0% PCP deal.

 

Get a quote from Carwow and ask them to match it.

Nice! More or less the same spec as mine.

 

What lead time / build week did you get?

[noodles]

Hi all after 10 years away from Skoda ownership (i had an Octavia 4x4 turbo back in the day) I bought the wife a citigo Monte Carlo last month and just ordered my red fabia Monte Carlo estate 110 tsi last week!

As I had been sweet talking the dealer for a bit since the citigo purchase I should get mine delivered end of september! Can't wait! It was going to be dealer stock car but as he knew the spec I wanted it magically changed to my car

I ordered the cruise, sat nav, sports suspension, elec windows and spare wheel as extras.

Apparently the sat nav option has now gone up to 500 quid!! Mad.

Yes I did I went to my nearest Lookers Skoda who were brilliant.

No build week confirmed yet, he said it would take longer being an estate

End of September? 

[noodles]

Yeah end of September... it was probably one of the first non demonstrator orders to go in about a day after the Monte Carlo was officially announced. You probably got a better deal than me though as the dealer had me hooked!!

Is there anything you can do about those Seats they've designed? The colour clashes way too much depending on what exterior colour you have! Goes okay with whites and blacks, but with blue it looks terrible!

[Gazbull17]

The seats and red centre console are the only thing that let's the new Monte down, compared to the exterior they're hideous.

[Oni]

The Monte I test drove didn't have the red centre console. I promise you the seats are far less garish in person! 

[Leprejohn]

Here is the pictures I took of the monte in the dealership

It does look nicer in the flesh

I think if they missed the deckchair stripes out, it would look a lot less fussy - quite similar to the seats in the original Fabia vrs, with a bit of colour thrown in. I'm even getting used to the idea of the red centre console now

The only colour that enterior goes with is metallic grey, luckily mine came accidentally in that colour and love it.

Driving it with the sunroof covers out the way feels amazing.

[Leprejohn]

After seeing the grey when I was signing the paperwork for my order I loved the colour only they didn't have 110 engine so I stuck with white but it does look good

That's a great colour on that car. Slightly jealous now.

[Tim1631]

16s look lost in the rear arch

[Dan.Poulter]

Just a quick question

Does the Sports suspension lower the car? as Im not keen on the 6foot gap between the wheel and the wheel arch

Yeah a little I reckon 10 mm / 15mm max

[noodles]

My dealer just confirmed my car is being built in the factory This week

[pee81]

I like the look of the new monte but couldn't live with the weedy 1.2 after being used to my vrs
