Skoda Felicia Estate 1.3 GLXi 5d (1996/P) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Depreciates like a stone.
Costs
Relatively economical. Parts are often odd, particularly for the estate, difficult to find and expensive.
-
On the road
Driving
Bit like a tractor to drive, but a tad fun and quirky.
Performance
0-6 in three weeks, but any faster and it would be scary.

Living with it
Reliability
Im a careful drive rand used 2 clutches and 4 clutch cables. Among a hlarge list of other things. Need I say more.
Image
A wheelie bin has more image but as a student I was the only one who could fit all his gear in the back of his own car to move back home.
Comfort
Surprisingly comfortable in the back and front.
-
Security and Service
Security
I had an alarm installed and surprisingly it worked when needed. The thieves got in, but couldn't take the stereo or the car.
Service
Sheffield Skoda were awful. I have never met a garage as bad. I never actually managed to get my car in there for work as they seemed to put so many obstacles in my way. My advice buy another car, any car but this one.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Load, brash and drank oil like a sailor. However I did drive her 50 miles with no oil in and she was absolutely fine.
Other
I have to say apart from a few reliability and dealership issues it wasn't a bad car. However for these reasons I would not recommend the car to anyone.
Ownership
Did you buy the car new?
Used
Would you buy the same model again?

Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
No
