The first generation of the Fabia went on sale in 2000 and was awarded the car of the year. Reaching the 3rd generation released in 2014, the two generations had one thing in common and that was the car of the year award for the 2015 model as well. The little spacious car was among the tallest in its class, thus offering great headroom for both front and rear passengers. The passengers in the rear seats had a good amount of legroom, however, the 3rd seat was a better fit for a child, due to the central tunnel. The roomy cabin was equipped with comfortable seats that were adjustable, as well as a telescopic steering wheel contributing to ideal driving position desired by the users. The Fabia offered great visibility, with its big windows and the thin pillars. The material used throughout the cabin were of a decent quality and the interior was a basic one. The only thing that draw attention was the flashy color touchscreen with a 5-inch display for the lower trim levels and a 6.5-inch one for the upper trims. The Fabia also offered a good size and shape for the trunk and its practicality was increased with the available storage nets, the hooks and the little shelves. The load area could be extended by folding the rear seats, however, the rear seats did not completely fold down. The starting price of the Fabia was highly competitive among the others in its class.
