1950.0. "Whats wrong with Skodas ???????" by NEWOA::BOSLEY (What time to go, Nah cant be...) Wed Nov 11 1992 18:59

    Hello All out there in Notes Land....
    
    
    	Can I ask the simple quetion of why do people laugh at Skodas (New
    ones perferred.) Yet they are still class winners in the Lombard RAC
    Rally!!
    	
    	Has anyone got an open enough mind to give a fair apraisal of the
    Favorit 136 LS Estate. Not that I'm buying one, Just thought I would
    diversify a weee bit..
    
    
    
    Thanks

    Well, I dont particularly hate Skodas but the class winners in the Lombard
    RAC bear scant resemblence both physically and (arguably) cosmetically to
    the ones you see on the road.

    And maybe the major manufacturers are a bit scared to take them on!
    
    Both sides have done their SWOT analysis!
    
    136 Estate represents excellent value for money.

1950.4Skoda Felicia 1995CHEFS::GERRYTFri Jul 28 1995 21:1610
    The new Felicia, is a totally revamped model with the firm involvement
    and financing from Volkswagen Group. Build quality and finish is
    excellent.
    
    They are even getting great reviews from the motoring press at this
    time. (including Top Gear presenters!) Well worth a look if you're in
    the market for cheap spacious 5 door hatch motoring. From 5999 on the
    road.
