2010 Skoda Roomster Pure Drive S 1.4 TDi from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Strange but dependable vehicle

Faults:

Not much, but I have not used it much in the last couple of years, only put 7000 miles on it, no problem so far.

General Comments:

Bought this used for a second car and for reliability, it has not disappointed, but to be fair I have used it very little over the last couple of years.

1.4 TDi is slow, but economical. You can get 50 mpg +, but you are going nowhere fast.

It is a spacious family vehicle but everything is just so... odd. Looks weird. Door handles are in weird places. Dash is strange. Storage areas in strange places. Cannot decide if it feels more van or car like. I've never had anything like it before. I can live with it, but I wish the styling was better inside and out. Alloy wheels look nice though.

Smooth and comfortable enough once you get used to slow performance.

Will prove to be a reliable car, mechanic friend of mine has had many Skoda's with TDi engines, never a moment's bother. Overall a decent vehicle, just do not buy one expecting anything special or exciting.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
