1998 Skoda Felicia LXI review from UK and Ireland

No problems whatsoever to date.

This is a no frills, no nonsense car that offers reliability and comfort at an amazing price. Steering is a little heavy at slow speeds, but hey, in every other department it's a very competent little car. I've had this car which I bought second hand for about 3 months now and it's been absolutely faultless.

I use this car every day for commuting to work in heavy suburban traffic with lots of gear changing and braking! I can't believe how good it is. Front and back is very spacious with ample headroom with a good sized boot. The dash is a simple and straight forward affair- nice analogue controls. It's pretty nippy and more than you need for around town. It has been 100% reliable and the build quality is very good. Nothing has gone wrong at all.

On the downside it lacks a few refinements like electric windows and central locking but hey, I can live without these. General noise levels are higher than its more expensive rivals but I really don't find any of these points a problem.

If your'e not a badge snob and want a great car offering fantastic value for money then put this on your shortlist. You won't regret it and can use the cash you saved for a nice holiday in the sun!
