particularly older ones - im wondering mainly in the direction of the felicia on this one
polo (golf?) based, or just a tweaked favorit?
cheers

So it was 1991, not 1994. Every day's a school dayIn 1991, Å koda Auto ties onto the past and reenters global markets under the wings of the VW Konzern.
Correct young Jedi. The Felicia was just a re-engineered Favorit, adapted to accept VW running gear and parts like airbags, ABS, Power steering, etc.toXXin wrote:The Felicia was just a facelifted Favorit.
The Octavia was the first official VW shared floorpan, I think.
They are not bad cars, they are the last of the cheep and cheerfulf ones of old. The 1.3 engine is almost bullet proof, it's got a hard wearing interior. The 1.6 is better and the 1.9 diesel does the job. The handling and driving position are not very good as it was designed for the bargain end of the market, if you want a cheep car that does not go wrong and wll get you from A - B with no hassle, then go for it, just don't expect it to be as good as a Polo of the same age.Tahrey1043 wrote:soze it any good, den?not that im assuming anyone will know!
doesnt seem to be anything wrong with their basic bodywork (apart from being a bit ugly, but I guess its built for east european conditions - salt resistant for the 6-month winter, and not pretty so it doesnt get nicked by all and sundry) and it's got the VAG bits inside, which from the age i'm reckoning will either be mk3 or early mk4 polo parts (and golf bits from the same era).
