It didn't fool anyone. What it was, was a solid, affordable car that proved Skoda could build good cars.

Fooling suggests trickery, but the Felicia most definitely changed perceptions. It was just a good car. End of story.

It would fool badge snobs who couldn't believe that a Skoda could be decent.

It wasn't so much about trickery as it was about VW's influence. The Felicia was blessed with better parts and processes.

The real fooling was in tricking people into believing it was all new, when it was essentially based on the older Favorit platform.

It fooled nobody in the world, but it did catch a lot of people by surprise. That's just good marketing and good product development.

The Octavia was the real game changer, but the Felicia was the start of Skoda's turnaround.
Was the Skoda Felicia a missed opportunity when it came to selling in the US?
06 January 2025 10:26
A missed opportunity definitely. Americans have a soft spot for quirky European cars, as successful as the Beetle.

Nah, it’s too competitive in the US market. In fact, even established brands struggle there.

It was too early. They could have had a chance in the 90s, if they tried, with the VW-era Felicia.

Missed opportunity? They dodged a bullet! It is insane the costs of entering the US market.

They could have become Europe’s budget European brand, like Dacia is now.

The timing was all wrong. Because of Cold War tensions, it would have been nearly impossible to sell a Czech car in the US.

It's an interesting 'what if' but in the end they made the right call in focusing on Europe.
Should buyers wait for the Enyaq, or are there alternatives worth considering?

I waited 13 months for my Enyaq and really, it was worth it. I couldn't find anything else for the same money that gives you the same amount of space, comfort and range in the car.

No way I'd wait that long. It's moving too fast in the EV market. It will be better options in a year's time. If you want something sooner, it would be the Kia EV6 or the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Ridiculous wait times, but it depends. If you really need a car, obviously it’s not the place to go. If you can wait and you’ve test driven the Enyaq and love it, then perhaps it’s worth holding out.

After waiting 8 months for Enyaq I canceled my order and got myself a Tesla Model Y. In my opinion, the software and charging network alone make it a better choice.

In fact, it actually worked in my favor, the long wait. When I got my Enyaq, it had the latest software updates and a couple of minor improvements by the time. Waiting isn’t always a bad thing if you don’t have somewhere to be.

I don’t think the Enyaq is overrated. If you don’t want to wait, there are plenty of great EVs out there. The whole market is evolving so quickly, why limit yourself to one model?
