Skoda Roomster (2006 - 2015) 1.6 TDI CR (105bhp) SE 5d Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
ugly as hell (looks like a "cut and shut" with a different front half compared to the back half). A car for looking out of rather than at (with the panoramic sunroof the interior is very light & airy, even in the back). Dull grey plastic interior (I'm not selling this very well am I!) but in terms of practicality a FANTASTIC car. Big boot, comfortable & spacious in the back. Uneventful drive that will eat the miles. Quite highly geared so 70mph just over 2k rpm which makes for very relaxed pootling. Being a van derived car it seems to be sensibly designed. 130k miles on mine & I'm not needing to change it. I'm just sorry that they stopped making them.... service it regularly & they chug on. This may all seem like "damned with faint praise" but it isn't... It may not win any style points but it just "does" whatever I need from a car. I run mine with 4 season tyres on it & laugh at BMWs & Merc's in the winter.
How reliable do you find the car?
generally extremely reliable but the few faults have been a bit niggly... wiring loom fault going to alternator, wiring loom fault in drivers door, drivers side windscreen linkage a little worn..... but having said that given the age and mileage it is a pretty trivial listAbout their car
