Advantages: Reliable and a pleasant drive.

Disadvantages: None too stylish.

After driving my dad's Nissan Micra for the few months after passing my test, this is the first car I owned proper, and indeed still do own. I did do quite a lot of research before I bought the car, and overall I think I made a pretty good choice. It's not the most flashy car on the market, granted, I think it probably has a little bit of a 'pensioner' image. The Skoda brand has certainly had stigma attached to it, to say the least.

However, this is a great little car. The worst thing that has happened in the 3 or 4 years which I have owned it is the battery died, and obviously had to be replaced. I own the basic model, and while the interior may be sparse and lack mod cons such as air conditioning, central locking or electric windows, the car is so reliable. I really think that Skoda's are a bargain, basically VW engineering for cut-rate prices.

If you can get over any prejudices you may have, you will not regret buying a Skoda.

Summary: A great car for anyone
