Living with it
Reliability
I used mine for work, and it spent most of its life in the garage waiting for basic parts which none of the local Skoda dealers could get. I'm talking about clutch, flywheel, brake discs etc.

I hate the Skoda ads, but then I've grown to hate the car as well.
Comfort
One thing i was happy with.
