Skoda 1203

The Škoda 1203 became one of the most widespread vehicles of its class in what was then Czechoslovakia, which was also due to the very limited range of competing vehicles available. The advantages of this car included its large usable space and its variable use, while its weak and overheating engine, gear shifting problems, poor driving characteristics without load, etc. were rated very unfavorably. Despite constant complaints from users and the desperate rigidity of the technology, the car remained in production for over thirty years without any significant design changes and contributed significantly to the development of trades and small businesses after 1989.
