2019 Skoda Fabia 81TSI Monte Carlo review

Review By Mike Costello 30th Jun 2019 43 Comments

The Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo is an exercise in sporty design with sprightly performance. It's an unorthodox, affordable tier-two European option well worth considering.

2019 Skoda Karoq 110TSI review

Review By James Wong 11th Mar 2019 59 Comments

Skoda's smaller crossover stays true to the brand's 'Simply Clever' values, though it's not quite as superb as the larger Kodiaq.

2019 Kia Rio GT-Line v Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo comparison

By Scott Collie 21st Jun 2019 71 Comments

They both have three-cylinder engines, and they're both sportier than the wider range. There are plenty of similarities between the Fabia and Rio – how do they stack up side-by-side?

2019 Hyundai i30 Fastback N v Skoda Octavia RS Sedan comparison

By Kez Casey 14th Jun 2019 75 Comments

Hot hatches that are not hatches? Well, not quite – let's call a spade a spade here. The Hyundai i30 Fastback N and Skoda Octavia RS Sedan are, despite their official names, both hatchbacks. More obviously, though, both comfortably fit the definition of ‘hot’ more readily...

By Kez Casey 24th Apr 2019 63 Comments

Both the Skoda Karoq 110TSI and Hyundai Tucson Highlander are built around the same ‘utility vehicle’ philosophy, but despite differences in their makeup, they arrive at very similar conclusions. We’ve put together the highest spec of each available in Australia to see if Europe’s challenger brand, Skoda, has what it takes to topple the might of Hyundai...

2017 Skoda Fabia 81TSI Review

By By Timi 16th May 2019 7 Comments

My 2017 Skoda Fabia is an absolute blast to drive. It has some great features, but can leave you with a feeling of wanting more. Let's start with my spec of the 2017 Fabia: it is top-spec, but without the sunroof. Key features are climate control, radar-guided adaptive cruise control, sporty flat-bottom steering wheel and 17-inch alloys...

2018 Skoda Kodiaq 132 TSI Sportline (4x4) Review

By By Ted 20th Apr 2019 24 Comments

Well, it was time to update the 7-seat SUV, as our previous car had been written-off. There were many things for us to consider when buying a new car, but there was a definite list of features that we absolutely wanted in our car. Some cars we were considering were a 2016 Toyota Kluger GXL, 2016 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring or a Nissan Pathfinder Ti...

2017 Skoda Kodiaq 132 TSI (4x4) review: The rental

By By Peter Stone 3rd Jan 2019 22 Comments

Over the weekend I flew to Canberra. I decided last minute I was going to get a hire car so I walked into Hertz and said “give me a Skoda.” They had a rather bland white Kodiaq for me so of course I said, “I’ll take it!”. I figured after two days and over 300km of driving in and around Canberra on a vast array of road types I’m pretty well equipped to give my thoughts on my experience so here goes...

2017 Skoda Superb 162TSI review

By By Jeff 30th Nov 2018 14 Comments

After a not so fantastic ownership experience with a Mazda 3, it was with great trepidation that I again plunged into the new-car market to purchase a large car for an expanding family. Simply put, it had to seat five in comfort with plenty of space for prams and cargo. In July 2017, the list was quite short – Skoda Superb 162, Holden Commodore VF SV6 or Mondeo...
