People\'s Opinion
N/A / 5
744 Overview:
Skoda 105,120 (744). It has moderate fuel consumption (~8.8 l/100km). Weighing only 1290 kg, it’s quite light. Rear‑wheel drive offers dynamic handling and sporty feedback. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 17 s). The top speed reaches 150 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Performance Verdict
The most powerful engine in the lineup, offering the best acceleration (17 seconds 0-100 km/h) and slightly better highway capability, though still slow by modern standards.
Fuel Economy
Fuel consumption of 7.8 l/100 km is reasonable for a 1980s car of this type, offering a balance between power and efficiency.
