History of the Škoda Favorit model: why it is still relevant

Škoda Favorit debuted in 1987 as the first front-wheel drive car of the Czech brand, developed in collaboration with an Italian studio Bertone. This model was revolutionary for its time: lightweight body, independent suspension and economical engines with a volume of 1.3 l (50–68 hp) made it a hit in the markets of Eastern Europe. In Russia Favorit appeared in the early 1990s and quickly gained popularity thanks to:

  • 💰 Low price - even today, used copies can be found for 150–300 thousand rubles.
  • 🔧 Simplicity of design — repairs are cheaper than modern foreign cars.
  • 🛠️ Reliability - many copies pass through 300+ thousand km without major repairs.
  • 🚗 Versatility - produced in hatchback bodies (Favorit), sedan (Forman) and pickup (Pick-up).

Interesting fact: Favorit became the first Škoda, which was exported to Western Europe after the fall of the Iron Curtain. In 1994, the model changed Škoda Felicia, but many design elements (for example, series engines OHV) migrated to a new line. Today Favorit is not so much a vehicle as it is a collectible and a symbol of the era.
