Skoda Roomster (06 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 12 June 2006 Last Updated: 23 February 2011 The bold and distinctive Roomster is a small family car that stands out from the crowd. While not everyone may be a fan of the styling, it's certainly different and also helps maximise room inside. Its party trick is a clever rear compartment which offers immense flexibility between passenger and luggage space. The rear seats can slide and recline; any of the three individual seats can be folded or removed; plus the middle seat can be taken away and the two outer seats slid inward giving extra room for two passengers. Minimum luggage space is already good with the rear seats in place but becomes van-like with the removed. A Scout version from mid-2007 adds 4x4-like looks with body cladding and a higher ride height, but without four-wheel drive. 4 out of 5 Other Skoda reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £11,855 - £16,195 View all new prices Used price range: £3,352 - £12,420 View all used prices See 41 new models for sale from £9,995 Get a Skoda Roomster (06 on) information pack Next steps Skoda Roomster cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
