Cars Guide - Fabia v Yaris

[K1W1]

Published last week. Link here.

"VERDICT

Ignore the Fabia's look and it is the car to have, but if image is helping to drive the decision the Yaris will win. The $1600 price edge won't hurt it either in a segment where customers consider dollar value as one of the major purchase decisions."

I would be all over the Skoda!
I like the look (sort of like a boxy mini cooper)

Agreed. It looks infinitely better than the new Yaris...

I saw a new Yaris yestorday,and thought that its a good looking car immediatly.

Have seen a Fabia,and was not at all impressed with the look of it,thought OMG,who would buy one of those...LOL.

I saw a new Yaris yesterday and immediately thought that it's a good looking car.

Each to their own but what is wrong with you? The Aus-spec Yaris' are nothing like their overseas counterparts. Tiny wheels, stupid wheelarches and that ZR model that has no sporty intentions at all. It's like a old Yaris with square headlights. The only nice part? The steering wheel (leather wrapped on upper-end versions). I'm not defending the Fabia as we all know it could look better but the new Yaris as good-looking...

Anthony, we all know you're a Skoda h8r but do you have to comment on every post, on every site reviewing them, telling people who look at the site not to buy one? "I bought a Jetta over an Octavia" - they're the same car, who gives a rats?

Stick to OzHonda ßRo

The Aus-spec is pretty much the same as everywhere else as far as I can tell. Europe gets smaller engines and CVT. America only gets the 5 door and the bigger 1.5L and the same transmissions as us.
It's a bland middle of the road supermini classed car.

How old are Anthony, 13? OMG................given your superficial assessment of the Fabia vs Yaris maybe it's not your age or the fact you're a wooly that caused you to make such a strange comment in a SKODA ENTHUSIAST forum. Either way it is not necessary and blatantly inflammatory.

You appear to be a troll so i wasn't going to bother but you were so blatant i changed my mind. Negativity is not a problem in here, most member are realistic and accept the brands shortfalls. The difference however is that collectively we ALL want to see the brand succeed, something i am certain you don't understand and something that will inevitably occur with or without your pitiful comments.

I myself have been very negative of the brands marketing and management but i know they will succeed no matter what.

So what i am saying is, your a tosser and if you have nothing constructive to post don't bother posting anything.

I have to admit that my thoughts on the styling of the two cars are way closer to Anthonys than they are to Jakes. Maybe Anthony didn't use the right words or something but he has expressed his thoughts and he has a right to do that I guess on the proviso that they are genuine and not simply to stir up a response.

You Skoda lovers are the most insecure people in the world...nuff said.

Doesn't really make sense.

Generally, insecure people aren't early adopters. Insecure people are more likely to choose a known quantity or try & fit in with the crowd. I don't think Aussie Skoda purchasers exhibit those tendencies.

I also don't think a Toyota Yaris purchaser would cross-shop Fabia but maybe I'm wrong.

I have a fair amount of respect for KIWI and will curb my "real" thoughts of what you are about anthony but the fact remains you are here to stir up something.

If "Skoda lovers" are not to your taste then don't come into this forum, that would be a win, win for all concerned.

The fact is that I am a huge VW fan...have personally bought 4 new VWs,and reccomended many others to freinds and family,,as well as contribute to this forum by supplying worldwide sales figures,so I am going nowhere...

I am also active on Honda forums,as currently own a new Accord Euro,and do not hate Skodas,would just far rather have a VW,Honda,Toyota,or Mazda,and honestly find the Superb and Fabia UGLYYYYYYYYYY,Octavia and Yeti less so.

Each one to their own............

VW, Honda, Toyota - most boring looking cars on the planet

In today's Carsguide RE: 2014 Tiguan spy shots: "In another com-gen, Carparazzi sees the second generation VW-compact SUV for 2014 that is, Toyota-ish and as tedious as the Jetta and Passat. Wolfsburg eveidently believes the way to beat its great rival is to out-bland it"

[brad]

I don't think any Skoda owner should get into an argument about the beauty of their cars. Would be on a hiding to nothing.

not bland but i often think the ugly stick was waved a bit close in some areas.
