Eastern Europe
1993's takeover of Skoda by Volkswagen has seen the Czech marque feel the first real benefit of its new ownership. The Felicia is a heavily facelifted version of the 1988 Favorit, with better equipment levels, improved build quality and a more enjoyable driving experience, but maintaining the original car's highly competitive price and running costs. The existing 1.3 unit is joined by a 1.6 petrol and a 1.9 diesel engine which are also found in the Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Polo and SEAT Ibiza. The five-door hatchback and estate bodystyles remain.
