Skoda Felicia Hatchback (1994 - 2001) 1.3 Classic 5d (2000/X) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not a lot. I think it looks quite nice though. I'm 17 and my mates tend to have saxo's, clio's and ka's. I'd prefer something with a bit more street cred, but it's newer and bigger than my mates cars. It could be worse!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They think it's alright. Very spacious. Some don't think it's very cool, but it is good in other areas

Would you buy this car again and why?

No because I bought one of the latest ones there are, and I'll want something more modern with more electric stuff

What are you likely to buy next?

Fiat Brava, Hyundai Accent.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,250

When did you buy the car?

September 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

I paid what it's worth... plus I know it has been looked after well

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted) a car and this one was a good price. I knew the exact history of it because my stepgrandmother had it from new, and had only done 17'000 miles

What was the dealer like?

N/A

What's it like to drive?

Surprisingly nippy in 1st and 2nd. Not great for overtaking though. Steering is fine. Nice and quiet at high speeds. However, the engine does feel a bit strained sometimes.

What's it like to park?

Easy enough. PAS is useful.

Have you had any problems with the car?

It misfires when the engine is really wet, but that won't cost much to fix. One of the headlights doesn't go up and down, it only stays up. Apparently it's a common fault. Occasionally the Central locking doesn't work to one door, but it just needs some oil! Talking of oil, it has a slight oil leak, but it is only slight. Other than those little things that come with age, it's been fine

What's most practical about your car?

It's got plenty of boot space. Pity I don't use the boot that often.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Well it hasn't got a lot. Probably the Central locking!
