Most people post or join when they have an issue with their car, but the Felicia is doing it's job.

Apart from some tinworm on the arches, my Felicia that I bought 3 years ago as a runaround is still doing well. It's on 56k, I've done 12k in it and never changed the oil or plugs yet. I had to put an alternator on last winter, an ignition switch, a thermostat when I first bought it and a backbox the other day, but it's all been cheap and DIY.

The cheap tyres have lasted well considering it's driven hard in all weathers at silly o'clock in the morning to get to work.

It even served as a builders wagon a few weeks back with a dozen concrete blocks, a dozen thermolite blocks and a bag of sand in the boot. It pulled the same, but it may have been the cause of the backbox snapping off. The Felicia tends to hit the exhaust with so much as a bag of crisps in the back.

I'd buy another, as they are simple to live with and comfy to drive.

Just touching some wood as I type, you never know...

There is in fact a topic titled Why the Felly? that is not about car issues, but is full of positive testimonies about our beloved Czech czrs.

+ 1 Adurer. Good to hear your Felly is providing stalwart service to you. Just keep an overview on servicing issues as items such as oil changes shouldn't really extend beyond 10k intervals. Pleased to hear from you & more happy motoring ahead
