Old Skodas were Eastern European Rust-Buckets
New Skodas are low cost derivatives of the Audi A3 and A4.
People hated Older Skodas for good reason, the fact that you can now buy the same car as the latest Golf or A3 for a fraction of the cost by buying a Skoda Fabia VRS is a completely different story. The reason people now hate them is Badge Snobbery they are as good and is some cases muh better tha n other cars that cost more than them and so people are jealous.
Still wouldn't own one as i grew up with Skoda jokes and couldn't get over the stigma of owning one now.

Older Com-bloc Skodas weren't even very useful as boat anchors (They couldn't be counted upon to remain in one piece as they sunk), but that really is a thing of the past.
The only problem I see with them now are the old Skoda jokes. Remember, there are also plenty of British car jokes still in circulation and they're not really applicable any more either.
VW/Audi builds some of the best engineered vehicles in the world.

Utter tosh that the modern skoda is crap. Why do so many taxi drivers use them and egt intergalactic miles out them if there as bad as that?
The fabia VRS is an absolute flying machine at a cracking price.

Skoda's are awesome. I love funky Euro cars, and I would definitely drive one.

Because they used to be cheap, nasty, & unreliable.
However in recent years, certainly since they became part of the Volkswagen group, that is most definetely no longer the case.

That is one of those things that people say and are really not true, different people have different opinions.
