Skoda Fabia

Produced by the Czech manufacturer Skoda Auto since 1999, the Skoda Fabia is a supermini car which is available as a sedan (Fabia Sedan), as an estate ( Fabia Combi), and as a hatchback. It is the successor of Skoda Felicia which has been discontinued since 2001. The Fabia is based on Volkswagen s Polo Mk4 platform with a front engine and front-wheeldrive layout. Part of the Fabia's success was the fact that all of its mechanical parts were developed by or in conjunction with Volkswagen, but were offered in a package that is priced to undercut other models in the Volkswagen Group. The only traces of non-VW koda left in the Fabia are the 1.0 and 1.4 8v "MPI" engines, which were modifications to koda's own 1.3 engine, and were used in pre-Volkswagen kodas such as the Estelle and Favorit.
