Is it (the Fabia) really that bad?

[mikcatta]

I have a '21 plate Mk3 Fabia brought from a Skoda dealer in the UK in Feb of this year. It has been back to the dealer 4 times now. I am not interested in discussing the how/why, but .... If I decide to swap this Fabia for a new Mk 4, are they more reliable?

 

I've seen several people who say the Fabia are either brilliant or every Skoda since Covid has been a waste of time. I understand we all have different opinions, but what are you guys thoughts on the Mk 4 for reliability. The Which magazine review still lists it in the top 5 of cars in that size. Just want some more input before I decide which way to go....

 

TIA

You have posted in the Fabia Mk3 forum (2014-21) you want the Mk4 forum, I'll ask a moderator if they could move this thread to that forum.  In the meantime you could have a look in the Mk4 forum at the topics and posts.  I personally recommend you get an appropriate (12v) battery charger for whatever modern car you get with start/stop particularly.
