2013 Skoda Roomster SE 1.2 TSi petrol from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Poor quality

Faults:

Turbo, sensors, water ingress behind dashboard, etc.

It goes through brakes quickly and I don't know why because I drive slow.

Try to service and look after it on time, but it still has too many annoying issues.

General Comments:

Bought this Roomster as I needed a spacious practice vehicle for family use. It has been good for that purpose - I like the overall design and idea of the Roomster.

But everything else about the car is pretty bad. It is VERY slow and boring to drive. Not bad on fuel though (40 -45 mpg) but I would prefer a bigger engine next time.

Reliability has been patchy and pretty expensive to repair even using trusted independents.

An average at best car, wouldn't buy another.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
