2007 Skoda Roomster 2 diesel from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Excellent

Faults:

MP3 connector came off very early on, but quickly fixed by dealer and no subsequent problems.

General Comments:

Good performance given its size and weight.

My wife found it very comfortable.

Easy to fit luggage and large items due to the ease with which seats can be removed.

Very sturdy - without this car I might not be here, following a motorway accident.

2007 Skoda Roomster Comfort 1.6 petrol from Australia and New Zealand

Summary:

Loving the style and ride

Faults:

Nothing so far in the first 1000 k's.

Got it at a finance company sale for a 3rd of its new car price.

General Comments:

Seems to go well, and use very little fuel.

The 6 speed auto is a bit much on a small car, but it cruises great and will get going if you put your foot into it.

Visibility is great, and not too much light comes through the panorama roof.

The air con struggles a bit to climatise the cabin on hot days, and it takes a lot of learning as the car has so many features.

2007 Skoda Roomster 3 TDI 1.4 TDI turbo diesel from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Well built and practical car

Faults:

To date the Roomster has performed faultlessly. However when I initially picked it up from the dealer, the MP3 connection was broken. This was pointed out to the dealer who sorted the matter out quickly. Apart from this initial glitch, no further issues.

General Comments:

This is a very practical car, once you get over the unusual looks. It's not a hot-rod, but the 1.4 TDI performs adequately, returning a 50 + mpg.

It is very comfortable and the seating position gives good all round vision. It is a very solidly built car, and has a quality feel about it.
