Flaws are compensated by advantages. If you take care of it, it will repay you. It gives a lot of satisfaction.
Great little car, reliable, cheap, low fuel consumption. Overall, I am very satisfied.
For me, it's nostalgia. I drive wherever I want. The record fuel consumption is 465 km on 32 liters of gas. It doesn't burn much petrol either. Simple as a flail, cheap parts. I love this car, even though it has many flaws. But after all, they were designed in 1983, so it's not bad. I highly recommend it if you need a cheap, simple car.
Great car for little money. You just need to take care of it and replace parts on time. The engine is reasonably dynamic, but if you drive more dynamically, it consumes more fuel. If you drive calmly, then fuel consumption is low - around town it doesn't exceed 7 liters.
Purchased a year ago, it was in a rather uninspiring condition. I gradually repaired everything that bothered me, and in its current state, I have absolutely no complaints. All the faults were present when I bought the car, and nothing new has appeared. The previous owner's negligence (treating it as a car just for sale) is evident.
Overall, it's mediocre. It's neither safe nor economical, and you can forget about its performance. However, it is quite comfortable, "provided you have an unbroken seat." The trunk can fit my 12-year-old sister (it was hide-and-seek, don't think I'm a psycho). So, groceries will fit too, but not large ones.
The Skoda Favorit is an excellent car for those starting their automotive journey. Its purchase price is comparable to a 'Maluch' (Fiat 126p) and ranges from 1000-2000 PLN. For 2000 PLN, you can easily find one in good condition with an LPG system, requiring no immediate financial investment. Compared to a 'Maluch', the Skoda is a full-sized car on which you can learn to drive and park. If you happen to get into a minor accident, spare parts are readily available.
My father bought this Skoda in former Czechoslovakia. It has driven a lot and transported a lot. There were no major repairs, except for the timing chain replacement and normal wear and tear. The only drawback is weak body panels, requiring more attention to cleanliness to prevent it from looking like a wreck. Skoda engines are reliable! A dream nowadays (back then, the brand used to produce sedans). Just fill it up and drive. As for
With a low purchase price and ridiculously cheap spare parts, this is a truly decent car for undemanding individuals. For its class, it's quite comfortable, economical, and reliable – provided, of course, that we take proper care of it. Therefore, when buying, it's worth waiting and looking for a well-maintained example, and be sure to inspect it thoroughly (especially the undercarriage, floor under the mats, rear axle beam, and the rest of the suspension). However, the quality of the upholstery can be annoying.
My first own car. Previously, I shared a Polonez with a friend, but this one was entirely mine on paper. It was a lot of work, a lot of joy, and a lot of sadness when it was towed away after I crashed it into some jerk who cut me off at a red light – I simply couldn't brake in time. I cried like a child; there will never be another car like it. It only let me down once. It took me from Kielce to Radom and back, and then from Kielce to Lublin and back with a [broken down/damaged]...
