Very good in town. At high speed steering is too light. Good stability with 15"" wheels.
Performance
Needs revving for some decent performance, but is ok for a 1.4 engine.

Living with it
Reliability
Maximum note 2. Too many problems.
Image
Skoda will get better and better, but the work is not finished.
Comfort
Quality interior, very good materials. Very good driving position, good chairs, ergonomic. But the drive train not good on poor surface, makes noise on potholes and not very comfy. Pretty silent on motorway.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Antifreeze leaking. Transmission chain changed. Clutch disk changed (at 60,000km). Engine thermostat changed.
Other
Twice changed the dash speaker. Electric windows module one time(warranty). Twice the water temperature sensor. Steering sensor(this is bad because the steering can get very very light at high speed). The windows squeak. It is enough.
