Škoda Favorit 135 (1987–1995): the brand's first mass-produced front-wheel-drive model, a hatchback with a transversely mounted engine replacing its earlier rear-engined layout
Škoda is a Czech vehicle manufacturer based in Mladá Boleslav and has been part of the Volkswagen Group since the 1990s. The Favorit, built from 1987 to 1995, was the brand's first mass-produced front-wheel-drive model, replacing the rear-engined models built until then.

The Favorit was a hatchback with a transversely mounted engine and front-wheel drive, a layout Škoda brought into large-scale production for the first time. The body shape was designed by an Italian styling studio, marking a clear step forward in the brand's design language compared with its predecessors.
Vehicles of this class belong to category M1 passenger cars and were designed as compact family vehicles for everyday use. The switch to front-wheel drive brought advantages over the brand's earlier rear-engined designs in interior space and handling on wet or slippery roads.
When buying a Favorit, the priorities are rust in the sills, wheel arches and floor pan, plus the condition of the timing belt and cooling system on the transversely mounted engine, and leaks around window seals and the boot lid. Parts remain readily available through the active Škoda classic and youngtimer scene in Central Europe, since the Favorit was built in large numbers. Electrical faults around the dashboard loom and worn engine mounts are common on cars that have covered high mileages, and the exhaust system deserves a close look on cars that have stood unused for long periods.
