I can see the appeal, but it's quite far down my trouser-rubbing list. I do remember Which? having a scoop on these in the 80s, thanks to shocking brakes. Can't remember the exact issue but I believe Changes were Made by Toyota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnoyingPentium Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I'd love this 50 Shades of Red Skoda Felicia which appears to be a higher up in the range model.

lesapandre Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 They are an awful lash-up. All show and no go. £199,000 will buy a lot of other much better cars. Dangerous things - French writer Albert Camus died in one. Bamboocarman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I thought they went pretty well. Slowing down consistently and steering reliably around corners/obstacles possibly not so good. Stevebrookman and lesapandre 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesapandre Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Yes I meant drivability. If you want elegance these are much better - but still a handful. About one-fourth the price Studebaker Hawk (red) and Avanti - both on US Ebay. They are in R2 specification which means a supercharger. The Avanti particularly is good for 130+mph.
