SKODA ROOMSTER 1.4 16V 1 5dr (2006)

Skoda Roomster - roomy!

The Skoda Roomster is somewhere between a normal car and an MPV, but in terms of space I've found it to be more like an MPV than a normal car. Mainly because the seats are so versatile and can be moved about to fit whatever combination of things you want - 2 kids + dog/dog + shopping + hubby's golf clubs/1 kid, dog, shopping, work stuff, etc. etc. Sounds great, you might think. Well, kind of. The seats are really heavy so I normally have to conscript at least one kid to help me out when I'm rearranging them.

Otherwise, it's a pretty nice car really, my Skoda Roomster gives me good mpg (don't know how many exactly but a lot more than you might think), it's really very reliable (what happened to you Skoda?!) and it's pretty comfy.

Any complaints? Noise!!! It's so noisy! And to be honest I am used to a slightly faster type of car. This one does feel a bit weak. Love the handling myself but I suspect many people might find it a bit too responsive. All round, though, a good buy.
