1994 Skoda Favorit GLXiE Estate review from UK and Ireland
"Workhorse or great budget small family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both stalk switches (indicator & wiper) needed replacing.
Centre exhaust replaced (normal wear)
Sticky front caliper.
Leaking rear wheel cylinder.
All what I would consider acceptable wear and tear faults.
General comments?
A roomy estate car, boot-wise.
Comfort and handling are average, but it IS after all, a Skoda.
Not fast, by a long shot. The Skoda is the tortoise, plodding along until it passes the fast hare (on the hard shoulder) to get there in the end. Perfectly capable of sustaining road-legal speeds however, even fully laden with a camping trailer.
This car has been abused since I got it. I never intended to keep it, therefore it has had no servicing whatsoever. But I ended up keeping it, even after such abuse, it just won't stop plodding on.
Not as much fun to drive however, as the older rear-drive Skodas.
