I really like the look of the new Fabia vRS and for some strange reason I prefer the estate to the hatch. I think it would look great in green with a white roof. Does anyone else prefer the estate to the hatch?

Yup think your right and seems more of a drivers car in some way. As get a decent car that's practical too, haven't seen the green with white in estate guise though.

Hmmm... each to their own, I guess.

I had an Octavia vRS Estate before, and really thought long and hard about the Fabia vRS estate (it would have suited my lifestyle better), but ultimately I decided I couldn't live with the looks and went for the hatch version as my latest company car.

The estate looks a bit too bloated and dumpy to me. Sorry. boxedin

I've seen one on the road in that colour combination and I liked it tbh. Makes a change from the sea of slate grey's etc. (my own car included). Then again, I'm a big fan of orange Focus ST'S too...

The estate is more of a sleeper I suppose (in as far as a lukewarm hot hatch/estate can be a sleeper) as you can't spec the alternative roof colours on the estate, only on the hatch. A Silver estate would be very stealthy, as well as very dull.

I went for the Rallye Green with a black roof and Anthracite wheels, which appears to be the default colour combo for all the ads etc, so maybe not much of an individual choice. Perhaps yellow with a white roof and black wheels would have been more interesting. Or White with black roof and wheels as is popular on the Seat FR's.

There's an Ibiza trim that Seat only do in the white/black/black combo, called the bocanerga iirc?

I would have gone for the colour combo you have, I think it looks great!
