Second skoda to own. Both good. I get 58mpg on long run and 49mpg in town. I had a fan resistor fail at 31000, used dealer garage to repair. The only negative is tyre noise(on 205/45r16 Bridgestone turanza).

We’ve had this car from new. 50k miles and only a slight fault with 2nd gear being synchromesh, fixed under warranty. Fantastically versatile car. Loved by kids because of the big windows. Nice to drive, cheap to run and feels fast. Skoda dealers very good. One of the best value cars you can buy.

I have now covered 93,000 miles, the only niggles are rear bearing failed at 80k and occassional issue with the radio where it is on but no sound until you turn the ignition off and on. I do a lot of long motorway runs all over the UK, it has handled family holidy in Scotland with no problems with the hills and tows my trailer for camping with the scouts easily. The economy averages about 52-55mpg, but careful driving can get 60+mpg, when around town I get 45-48mpg. Minor gripes I have about my roomster are 1:) the projector headlights are as good as candles, 2:) the lack of cover between the back seats and parcel shelf is a pain if like me you carry stuff in the boot for work. On the whole a good car, the way the back doors open wide is good for access, very comfortable on long runs but a little noisy on the motorway compared to some cars but is easy to service once the warranty has expired.

I had mine for all of 8 months, and having had Skoda’s ever since 1994 to present day, it was the most god awful car I have had. The sharp corners on the exaggerated front and hatch doors are lethal - a couple of head injuries and two body blows! Economy (Level 1 Roomster - petrol) was abysmal, about 38 mpg combined. Too under geared, it is the same engine as my previous (and now current) Fabia, but geared down to the van version Praktik. I would keep well clear of this car
