What's the Skoda Roomster like?

Could you tell me if the Skoda Roomster is a good car to buy? I would like to buy a car that's off the ground, cheap to tax and insurance.

Thanks

Hi Rose,

Yes, it's a good car. A little quirky to look at and a little bit noisy to drive, but really roomy (hence the name) and very well made and reliable.

But it's not high up off the ground. The front seats are mounted higher than those of a Fabia - 30mm higher in fact, but if it's height you want, for ride height for rough roads, you need to look at the Skoda Yeti.
