    Skoda, more 3 cyl. cars

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0koda_Fabia

    Gas, NA, 59-68hp. 5.2-5.5l /100kms

    They may not have 3 cyl. anymore, IDK but depending on price these cars may have been/are the most direct competitor to our Mirages.

    Can't say I like Skoda, I had one in '83, I4, 1.2L, RE/RWD, clutch failed @30,000km like clockwork. Otherwise I liked the car. It was basic transportation like the Mirage.


    Zero, 2014 ES Plus 5MT, written off but not forgotten.
    Zero II, 2014 SE, 5MT, climate She's HOME now!
    Shelby AKA "Cute", 2017 ES 5MT, A/C.

    Mirage owners look at the world differently than everyone else, but in a better way
    We're driving the Beetle of the 21st century, the greatest small car now available!

    I like the styling of the third generation. For some reason, to me it looks bigger than the Mirage.

    They are a bit bigger. The 1 L gas with 74hp is interesting. Belt drive though on the cam with, depending on what you believe, lifetime service. Brakes were £175 for front pads, something wonky there. That must include labor.

    Climate control screen is quite similar.

    I completely forgot that we could get Skodas here briefly!
