London, July 23 (ANI): Even though Skoda has been the butt of motoring humour for decades, its drivers are having the last laugh, after the Czech carmaker came in tops for user satisfaction in the UK in a recent survey.
Not only did Skoda top the league table of most popular car-makers - beating German sports car maker Porsche and Japan's luxury Lexus - four of its individual cars finished in the top ten most satisfying individual models, reports the Daily Mail.
The plaudits came as Czech Skoda celebrated its 20th anniversary of being owned and revitalised by German car giant Volkswagen following the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe.
Skoda bosses said the jokes about them had long been consigned 'to the dustbin of history' leaving its satisfied customers smiling, and their downcast rivals laughing on the other side of their faces.
It scored a top-ranked satisfaction rating of 88.4 per cent ahead of Porsche (87.6 per cent) and Lexus (87.1 per cent). By contrast, it was France's Renault (68.1 per cent) languishing at the bottom of the satisfaction survey, just ahead of Vauxhall (69.1 per cent) Peugeot (69.3 per cent) and MG (69.8 per cent).
The Which? Car survey is based on ratings from owners of 63,000 new and used cars. (ANI)
