Super TestCar reviews - Skoda - Fabia - Monte CarloSkoda modelsOverviewSkoda’s Fabia Monte Carlo looks the goods but is no quicker than the standard car6 Sep 2016 By TIM ROBSON ALL that glitters is not gold – and sometimes all that is tarted up like a race-bred track hero is, well, not. There are plenty of examples of consumer goods available today that sport the look and occasionally the feel of something that functions at a higher level, but those functions are deliberately downplayed.
