Of course, that’s a Skoda. The elastic band probably snapped.

Can someone explain to me why Skoda has such a bad reputation? I really noticed this when I had my Skoda Citigo, which is basically the same car as the VW Up! or the Seat Mii.

But somehow people singled out the Skoda as the worst.

Skoda used to not be owned by VW, and back then they were bad like Lada.

Between 1948 and 1991 Skoda was a state owned company, making pretty low end cars to satisfy a social requirement for Czech citizens to have a vehicle. They had 0 bells and whistles because that wasn’t really the communist way.

As a result, non-communist car manufacturers almost always offered better quality, better kitted out models, so the likes of Skoda, Lada, and Yugo became a joke.
