1997 Skoda Felicia SLXi review from UK and Ireland
"Utter, utter rubbish. Don't buy a Skoda"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
What hasn't gone wrong might be easier - remember this is a 6 year old car.
Brakes - completely replaced.
ABS - all sorts of problems - don't go there.
Rust - around wheel-arches. My 20 year old 205 has less rust!
Slow running - at low speed car jumps like I'm a learner on my first lesson
Trim - boot trim came away after closing boot
Bodywork - a few dents caused by passing feathers. You would not believe how easily the bodywork dents.
The engine is fine. That's the only good bit. Thank you VW.
General comments?
I thought that a R Reg Skoda would be a better bet than a L Reg VW Golf.
What a big mistake.
Basically this car is the biggest heap of junk I've ever owned.
I will NEVER buy another Skoda. Bring back Lada, all is forgiven.
