Skoda Roomster 1.9TDI 2008

After 3 Skodas and a couple of Renaults, Roomster 3 1.9 TDI became our new family car last autumn, after a lengthy consideration. It won over its competition (C-Max, Kangoo, Octavia and new Fabia) by design, functionality and uniqueness. Well, least off all by price, but I negotiated a good deal. After remapping the engine that now boasts 140 HP, the car is about everything I had hoped for. And no, I have never bumped against the front door rim let alone hatch...

Skoda Roomster 2007

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

Skoda Roomster Scout with extra bits 2008

Well I got the Scout 1.9 TDi having opted out from company car schemes . As with all things one gets what one pays for . This vehicle is ideal for ’repping’ and ideal for family use . I suspect if one buys the 1.4 and more basic petrol models one could be as disappointed as the guy above. I have no problems with my Roomster and am very proud of it , especially when the usual Audi or BMW driver gets a bit of a shock when I put my foot down! Remember though - this car isn’t designed for the race track and doesn’t corner well at high speeds... then again it is a good idea to slow down you know! It does 53 MPG on a good run and about 45 in town - I can’t knock that . I would hope that Skoda adopt a six speed forward gear box in future builds and that they also develop a sporty variant. I love mine even if the Government fuel allowance is low - great little car and worth it ... if you buy the Scout 1.9 diesel TDi . Hope that’s ok... oh and to combat the weird front window styling, I bought a red car, and then had some stick on panels made to ’even up’ the sight lines - worked a treat. This car is better looking than the Citroen, Renault and Peugeot models and is much, much cheaper than buying a VW (which of course is where the engine and gear box come from). Highly recommended as far as I am concerned, both for business and family driving. Regards, John.

Skoda Roomster 1.9 TDi 5dr

Skoda have indeed come a long way. The Roomster is a very affordable MPV, not only to buy but to run. I test drove both this model and the 1.6 petrol version but felt the diesel offers a lot more performance wise for only a fraction more money. Bags of space very enjoyable to drive and really well built. More fool you if you overlook this because of the badge name.
