Skoda Felicia Estate (1995 - 2001) 1.6 SLXi 5d (1998/S) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Nothing...It can't talk

Who cares?

Would you buy this car again and why?

No... Parts costs are prohibitively high. The build quality is unexceptional and the performance is poor. Overall it may be a cheap car in image and price, but the running costs are not cheap at all!

Vauxhall Zafira or VW Touran

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£500

December 2008

Partner had one previously and wanted another as she couldn't get on with the 3-series BMW

Not very honest

Fine

Have you had any problems with the car?

Lots...Rusted spring pans all round, thermostat & housing, leaks from sunroof and windscreen, central locking, window regulators...

What's most practical about your car?

The space is impressive for a small car
