Skoda Felicia Hatchback 1.3 LXi 5d (1996/P) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Even though it was cheap to buy, tax and insure see reliability below.
Costs
Some parts (and I've used plenty!) are from VW polo so can be a bit expensive. Smaller independent garages tend to be cheaper.

On the road
Driving
It's like driving a milk float.
Performance
Sluggish, like a milk float or a horse drawn carriage. Good fuel econ though.

Living with it
Reliability
I think this was the last one of the line at Friday teatime on a bank holiday weekend.

But that's no the reason you would buy one anyway.
Comfort
Okay on short trips. Not so good for those longer motorway drives.

Security and Service
Security
I'm sure an intellectually challenged cabbage could steal this car. However,it is a Skoda so no one ever will. I've left the thing unlocked in car parks countless times and no one even tried. I'll keep the badge for my next car,the best anti theft device.
Service
No comment.
