Costs
None so far, but mats were not included.

Driving
The best super-mini to drive bar none. My girlfriend has a Pug 206 which is awful by comparison.
Performance
Nippy, but not quick like a Fiesta 1.4 16v.

Living with it
Reliability
A few problems. Rattles which took ages to get fixed and heater motor gets stuck on hot. Windscreen cracks easily on impact with stones.

I liked it but my cool friends went French... why?
Comfort
Superb driving position and plenty of leg room in back.

Security and Service
Security
Good, but no alarm.
Service
I think the Skoda service departments are crap. I had a few problems with rattles and electrics, and the dealerships were crap at sorting them out. 2nd Rate!
