Fabia Bohemia?

HellFire · 10-08-2005, 18:54

From http://www.skoda.co.uk/skoda3g/conte...equipment.aspx (at the bottom).

Skoda Fabia Bohemia

All Bohemia models are fitted with the following as standard:

-Air Conditioning including cooled glovebox and drinks compartment
-15" Band Alloys
-Roof rails
-Sunset privacy glass from B-pillar back
-Net programme
-Small leather pack
-Front Fog Lights
-Symphony radio/CD player, with four front speakers
-Body coloured bumpers - *** Wanted to highlight this! ***
-Asymmetric rear folding seats
-Plus pack (electric front windows and remote central locking)

Errr, is it me or does anyone else notice the same seats in it as the "Sport" model and and the general spec is very similar if not better. Of couse you will loose out on the "Sport" look, but does the "Sport" look that sporty

ITS A COMBI (estate) - OLD MANS CAR

Lummox · 10-08-2005, 19:07

Fabia Bohemia Estate - The Fabia Bohemia Estate is a very big small car. Or a very small big car. It depends how you look at it. It has some things you expect to find on a small car, like a £10,300 starting price. It also has some things that really belong on a big car though, like a 426 litre boot capacity.

Lummox · 10-08-2005, 19:12

Lummox · 10-08-2005, 19:25

IIRC there was a Felicia Bohemia estate.

Go and have a look at a Fabia Estate in the flesh, or a Fabia saloon and ask yourself- "Would I buy one?". IMO Terrible looking cars.....nothing against nice estates (e.g. Passat)

bryand · 10-08-2005, 20:56

I actually think the Fabia estate is better proportioned than the hatch. (Nicer to look at, not necessarily to live with). But I agree about the saloon - the designer's guide dog's pen must have slipped.

Fabia 12v · 10-08-2005, 21:01

Personally i think the big estates look better... BUT IMO it has to look as if its always been designed that way not just a hatch thats been extened with an extra window.... i.e octavia mk 1 looks great in estate... but the boxy rear end of the passat doesn't.

I can totally see the point of the estate fabia and it must be great having so much room in the fabia.. but i dont like the way the rear hangs, great car though

L-Y-K · 10-08-2005, 21:25

fabia combi deffinatly does look dynamic if its in the right colour and trim its sleek and differnt compared to boxy back ends i'd have one ...i mean just take a look at the paris design study how lush is that car! amazeing

DRJ · 10-08-2005, 21:31

The Bohemia just seems to be a special edition based on the estate. However no one's mentioned in this thread that Autocar recently published a Scoop Shot of the new Fabia MPV based on the current Fabia platform/design and potentially due to debut at Frankfurt in September - apologies if it's been mentioned elsewhere.

(A subsequent search notes it's on http://www.briskoda.net/forums/showthread.php?t=32146)

That 'could' well be the roomster but as we havent had anything official as far as I know its all speculation.

I did buy one; it is arriving this week. I particularly like the echoes of the Merc C-class in the rear; plus the bullet-nose does work better with the longer roofline.

Besides, I bought on function, not form. The hatch's boot is practically non-existant, whereas the estate gives bucketloads of room in a sensibly sized car.

As I said, I find this snobbery bizarre - doubly so on a forum that's supposed to be for all Skoda owners. I would not have thought this the place for such a divisive and alienating comment.

Josh_PoloGTi · 10-08-2005, 23:07

I reckon if they'd have made a vRS estate, I'd have considered it...

If it looked anything like the design study anyway!!

It CANNOT be the Roomster - unless the exciting Concept seen has been TOTALLY watered down. The Autocar Fabia MPV looks VERY LIKE a Fabia - something the Roomster most definitely does not!!!

Spot the difference (or rather the likeness):

I'd have had one too. I'm finding the Fabia really too small for the load-lugging that I need a car to do - one thing my 525iSE Touring was fine for.

Sporky McGuffin · 11-08-2005, 08:39

A vRS Fabia estate would be very nice indeed. That said, I found the 1.9 quite pokey enough, and the insurance is lower.

Hmm. Maybe I am getting a bit old...

Josh_PoloGTi · 11-08-2005, 08:56

I think I'm just going to get myself a roof box... lol

No good for golf clubs though

I agree I to would consider a vRS Estate

Shifty · 11-08-2005, 09:04

I'd have one too. I like estate cars, some of them look better than the hatch/saloon equivalent. Id like the Blue Fabia estate in the concept section of the skoda website.
