Newbie buyers advice

[Sam0228]

Hi there

 

Looking to buy a Skoda Fabia Mk 3. Need to get a 1.0l model as will be sharing it with young teenager.

 

Are they generally reliable, keep reading about turbo actuator issues, was this fixed after a certain model year?

Is the 1.0l TSI significantly better than the MPI version?

Is there benefit in going for the facelift MK3 other than the cosmetic changes?

There seem a lot of Colour Edition models, I can't seem to find any details of what this includes

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

 

Many thanks

I have the 1.0 MPI in my Skoda Citigo and the 1.2 TSI in my Skoda Fabia.

The 1.2 TSI ( same family as the 1.0 TSI but 1 more cylinder ) is more powerful, faster, sweeter and better on fuel than the 1.0 MPI.

But the insurance group is much higher.

Is there any particular option / extra that you wanted?

Some say an SE but with fancy colours and different wheels.

I have a 2015 Skoda Fabia III Brochure as a PDF if that helps?

 

Thanks. AG Falco

I have a 2016 1.2 TSi SE 110 bhp and its been very reliable, fuel consumption is good, very responsive. Keep it regularly serviced and it should be good for many years to come.
