2022 Hyundai I20 Summary

Start occupying the top step of the World Rally Championship podium and the brand benefits are huge. Just ask Audi, Ford, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen and the many others which have done exactly that to great effect over the years.

And Hyundai’s most recent foray into the WRC has focused on the compact i20, and here we have that rally weapon’s civilian offspring, the much-anticipated i20 N.

It’s a lightweight, high-tech, city-sized, hot hatch designed to steer you away from Ford’s Fiesta ST or VW’s Polo GTI, and add even more lustre to Hyundai’s N performance badge.

2023 Skoda Fabia Summary

How much does size matter to you? Do you think price should be relative to the size of a vehicle? Or do you think it's more about quality, performance and features?

There are plenty of people that think price should equate to how much metal you get, and they will, quite rightly, be shocked by the price of the new-generation Skoda Fabia hatch.

But if you've previously considered an entry-level light or small car from a premium brand, but perhaps been underwhelmed by the standard equipment list, then the new Fabia could be the answer.

For its fourth-generation, the Fabia has matured considerably, growing in size and carrying a more adult, premium look.

For now, you can only get the Fabia in one flavour, but that will likely change. Because as it stands, the former Euro city runabout remains out of reach for many buyers looking for a fun and affordable light car.

Has Skoda made a mistake positioning the Fabia as a semi-premium offering, or is it just the latest signal of a shift upmarket for the formerly cheap and quirky Czech brand?
