Skoda Felicia II 1.3 (68 Hp)
Overall Rating
Skoda Felicia:
The Škoda Felicia is a supermini car produced by the Czech carmaker Škoda Auto from 1994 to 2001. It was the last model on Škoda's own platform, but was one of the first models to benefit from Škoda Auto's takeover by the German company Volkswagen Group. The Felicia was a heavily reworked version of the Favorit, retaining its core structure but with new outer panelwork to give it a fresh, more modern appearance, with a redesigned front end and a wider range of VW-sourced engines....(Read more on Wikipedia)
II Overview:
Skoda Felicia (II). With 106 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~9.3 l/100km). Weighing only 1010 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 13.5 s). The top speed reaches 162 km/h. A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Skoda Felicia (first generation, which the Felicia II is a facelift of) received a very poor 1-star Euro NCAP rating in 1997, with a warning of high risk of life-threatening injury. Safety was not a strong point.
