Shocked ......
Looking for a run-around for the missus while I sort out her gearbox - needs to be cheap and reliable.
Went to see a Skoda Felicia Estate today - 1998, 92,000miles, FSH, 4 Owners, 5 Months MOT, 1 Months Tax .........
I only popped by as it was on the way - well, very nice little car it was too Looks simple to work on! Has some issues (the bumper indicates that it was once green, the remote alarm locking doesn't work and there is a suspension clunk).
Didn't buy it as the owner is mis-guided on the price and wants way too much ...... but I was shocked that I liked it so much!
No PAS knocks its appeal massively .... but for not much more than 4 Tyres on the Impreza it makes pretty sensible economic sense!

We had a Felica. Great little car. OK it looks realy ugly, but it has a good engine (1.6, avoid the 1.3), fun handling and it really practical.
Suspension clunk could be a sign it is on its way out. Ours clunked and then collapsed (a week after we sold it )

Did you know what the clunking was? This doesn't do it all the time ...... but, I know they suffer from Suspension failure come MOT time.

Ah, oh well. Most 1.3s sound like a sewing machine but seem to go on for ever.
The clunking on our was the shock bottoming out. I think the oil seal had gone, then it finally collapsed. Cheap to fix though
