The model
Read full reviewDon't discount the Scala on the basis that it's cheap. It ticks many of the boxes that some more expensive family cars fail to do, with its supple ride, decent handling, good infotainment system, amazing rear seat space and vast boot. Only its cheap-looking interior and weaker-than-average resale values mark it down.

See full equipmentThe entry-level trim is fine if you're on a budget, because you get the important things such as LED dipped-beam headlights, air-conditioning, heated and powered door mirrors and four electric windows. And you get 16in alloys, a leather-trimmed gearlever and steering wheel, automatic emergency braking and lane assist, plus a 6.5in infotainment screen with Bluetooth and a DAB radio.
The engine
See full engine specsThis 94bhp TSI 95 is fine but, in a car this size it can feel a little flat. We'd recommend stepping up to the TSI 110 if you can.
