    New car opinions - Fabia RS or Octavia 118

    Hey guys, getting a new company car in a month or 2, and (sadly) the boss rejected the idea of an Octavia RS! But got the OK for an Octavia 118, or possibly a Fabia RS. Just wanted to get opinions from people that own them, or just peoples opinions in general.
    Will be a wagon either way cause I need the space; but torn between getting the bigger, more practical, better spec'd Octavia, and the slightly smaller but probably much more fun Fabia RS.
    Either way, both would be a better drive than my current Hyundai Tucson!
    Current - 2013 Skoda Octavia 118TSI DSG Wagon - Arctic Green
    Gone! - 2008 Hyundai Tucson
    Other half's car - 2006 VW Passat 2.0TSI Sedan

    Octavia 118, I would say the Fabia RS hands down, but it looks like sh*t in the wagon version ;(.

      I think both great cars.... just choose based on space required.

      The other thing is there is that polo gti engine problem all over the 6R forums to do with the oil consumption etc.... since hte fabia RS has the same engine, might be a possible issue there.

        Take a test drive of the 118 TSI - you might be pleasantly surprised. It's not as quick off the mark as the Fabia RS, but it's still fun and has a LOT more room.

            I drove one a few years ago and was very impressed.Will see how they both feel after I drive them back to back.
