Skoda Felicia Hatchback 1.9 D GLi 5d (1999/S) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Cheap to buy.
Costs
Cheap insurance. Couldn't ask for better fuel cost. Catalyst very expensive. Servicing every 5K lets it down.

On the road
Driving
Not great in the wet with 165 tyres and a diesel lump up front
Performance
0-60 in 17 seconds says it all! But you don't buy this car for performance. However, it could do with a turbo to help out!
-
Living with it
Reliability
VW reliability, but without the refinement.
Image
Image isn't great, but it is a sound car for not much cash!
Comfort
Very long jouneys can be tiresome. Great for a general runabout/ workhorse.
-
Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser, Skoda, bade, and deisel badge all offer excellent security features!
Service
Main agent was unhelpful
