Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Skoda Roomster offers big family space for small-car money.

It’s not the most conventional-looking car, but the love-it or loathe-it styling does clothe a car that’s incredibly useful for those needing spacious and practical transport.

The rear seats are very flexible, and slide and fold, as well as being removable - giving you the choice between passenger- and luggage space.

There’s a decent boot, too, although the small engines struggle to produce good performance if the Roomster is fully loaded. They are frugal, though, with all the petrol choices managing around 40mpg;the diesel versions adding a good 10mpg to that, and the Greenline II managing more than 67mpg.

The diesels make most sense on the road, even if they’re a bit raucous around town. The ride is decent in all, though the pseudo-4x4 Scout models come with loftier suspension which is a bit firmer. It’s not four-wheel drive, which makes it a bit pointless, really.
