How I fell in love with a Skoda 16/09/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages Large car feel, small car economy, great quality for the money
Disadvantages None really!

Welcome to my review for the Skoda Felicia 1.3. I actually own one of these. If you're wondering why i am able to write reviews on so many different cars, its simple...... I've worked in the Car auction and Car hire business, so have driven too many cars to mention. Ciao suggests being factual, so i'll use headings, and be as easy to understand as possible. Reliability This Felicia is greatly improved from the skoda's of old, and is a completely different animal to its predecessor (the Favorit). The 1.3 mpi engine is not overly stressed and is more than capable of long distance motorway runs ... more

Yes, my hands are warm! 01/06/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Cheap, reliable
Disadvantages Stigma

I can hear the snickering at the back! Yes i own one, and it does come with rear heated windscreen, but as mine has been breakdown free i have had no reason to get out and push. This is the third car that I've owned since passing my test a little over a year ago, and it has yet to let me down. Although of course it is due for it's MoT next month. Having read another review and it's only failing was an adjustment to the headlamps, i live and hope. The Look ~~~~~~~~ Well I'll be honest and say that it is not the nicest of cars to look at, I've seen worse and having grown up hearing all the jokes ... more

A Vast Improvement From Yesteryear 25/05/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Cheap. Reasonably comfortable,. Economical
Disadvantages Not that stylish.Old image problems

There used to be a joke going the rounds some years ago. It went something like this : "How do you double the value of a Skoda ?. Answer: "You fill the petrol tank up "! In those days cars produced by companies behind the then "Iron Curtain" were something of a joke and owners of such cheapies went through agonies from their mates. However, as we all know the Czechs peacefully overthrew the yokes of Communism and the old Skoda company was taken over by the German giant Volkswagen. Result a vast improvement in the quality of the cars produced by the Czech company and in the after sales service ... more

This may not be what you think!! 02/08/2000

User recommends the product

Advantages Cheap
Disadvantages Lack of power at times

With the ever increasing costs of motor sport, the logical choice of those strapped for cash is, wait for it…………… The Skoda Felicia. Our car, a 1.3 International Group “N” car is the best Rally car that we have owned in 7 years of the sport. At a cost of £3600 (including a small package of spares) it has been well spent. In the three events that we have done this year, it has let us down once! The problem: Third gear wanted to be part of the stage rather than part of the car!! Total cost to rectify: £75.00. Two years ago we ran a 4x4 cosworth that suffered from a similar problem, the cost of ... more

Reliable car for first time buyers 22/07/2000

User recommends the product

Advantages All-round economic car, strong body, very safe for passengers
Disadvantages Interior a bit flimsy, seats not very comfortable, rear seat a bit cramped, expensive parts

Whatever else is said about a Skoda, you have to remember that what most people look at when buying a new car is the price. If you're in the market for a new car and have never purchased a car before (like we were), this is what will make the Skoda a particularly attractive purchase. We bought in 1993 the estate version of this car, and have just now decided to change it. Let me tell you the good and bad points. The Skoda has a good strong body and in the few small accidents we were in, it stood up very well with less damage than the other cars involved. This is a major consideration if you ... more

A sorry tale. 28/02/2003

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Low Purchase value
Disadvantages poor finish, poor quality expensive parts, heavy steering, poor turning circle

My disabled Father brought a new Felicia 1.3, prior to that he had an estelle 120 that was purchased purely because Skoda at that time were offering immediate availability, the Estelle was a basic but reliable car, it served the family well for many years before being passed on to a friend who drove it to Germany and back without a hitch. There was no local dealer here but customer services located a local "service agent" who was very helpful. Sadly despite there being a dealer in the area the Felicia has not been the success its predecessor was, and given the experience of this car, Skoda ... more

Yes, I drive a Skoda - don't laugh! 25/01/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Easy to drive, unlikely to get nicked!
Disadvantages Heavy steering, comfort pretty basic

When my Astra got pinched and written off last May I was pretty devastated; I'd had it less than three months, it was a lovely little car to drive, and it only cost me £275. Where would I ever find such a great bargain again? The answer, of course, was that sadly I wouldn't - I did, however, find a "one-owner" Skoda Felicia for £850. Despite the relatively high price tag (it's certainly the most I've ever paid for a car) I was willing to be persuaded. I laughed when it was suggested that a Skoda might be worthwhile - yes, I've heard all the jokes (and made a few) - but I thought what the heck ... more

Excellent little car 10/01/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Free servicing and AA cover
Disadvantages Uncomfortable on long journeys

What a wonderful little car this is. We bought it on a special deal, 20% deposit, paid for on 3 years interest free credit. Also in the deal was 3 years free AA cover, 3 years free servicing, and with mores extras on top of that, Power steering, central locking, drivers air bag, to name a few. A racing car it is not, around town it is cool enough, on motorways the national speed limit can easily be maintained, with hardly any engine noise. It is also a very easy car to drive and park. It is economical to run on unleaded fuel. And with a price tag of £7000 I don’t think it can be beaten ... more

Czech Mate 28/10/2002

User recommends the product

Advantages Well priced and comfortable
Disadvantages The name still puts people off

As I have mentioned in a previous opinion, I am lucky in my job to be able to try out lots of different cars for a few days at a time. I am now ashamed to admit that when I discovered my next car would be a Skoda Felicia, my heart sank. The name Skoda normally brings out all the tired old jokes and smart remarks, so I was dreading it. When VW took over Skoda, things began to improve due to the experience of VW, and the Felicia was the first model produced after the takeover. Even the most diehard car snob had to admit that Volkswagen had come up trumps. The Felicia has a satisfactory 1300cc ... more

cheap and cheerful 25/09/2003

User recommends the product

Advantages cheap to buy and very reliable
Disadvantages very heavy steering and doesnt hold its value

i bought this car 3 years ago now and was the first car i had bought. It falls in a low insurance category which means cheaper insurance (depending on circs of course!) which is great for a first time buyer with no or little no claims discount. It is very reliable and can honestly say it has never broken down. It is a very basic but reliable car which has never let me down. Servicing is usually reasonable and have never had any major faults when passing the MOT although the sensors on this car tends to be the thing that goes wrong the most.The interior is not particularly out of this world and ... more
