Empty car park for a Citigo snap!

I have ordered a rear spoiler for it but unsure whether to have it painted red or black! ​Also, I fancy some stripeage too and am seriously considering the Monte Carlo decals, are there any other style options around worth a look? Would appreciate any pointers!

Thanks Sasha. I do enjoy photography, yup!

Took my new Citigo out in the fog this morning for a photoshoot!

Needing something smaller and less diesel-y I sold my Roomster Scout 1.9 TDi and picked up a Citigo 1.0 60 in red on Saturday. The 2017 changes were enough to make me make the swap although I was still a little apprehensive as to what I would think about what is essentially a red shopping basket on 15" alloys but so far...I freakin' love it!

Is there to be a revised model in the future, does anyone know. Skoda appear to be launching new models frequently at the moment but I never hear of a new Roomster model. I seem to recall, at least in the early days, talk of disappointing sales - does this mean that the Roomster will eventually be killed off and not replaced?

A few drops of water found coming through the interior lights on my 57 plate Roomster Scout at the weekend. It was particularly squally at the w/end and I imagine that the radio aerial mount is letting rain in and then it's dripping through to the roof mounted front cabin reading lights. Although I've not noticed the leak before, if it has been there a while, it might explain the terrible FM reception I get on the factory-fitted stereo? Thankfully it should, I guess, be fixed under warranty (which runs out in September). Anyone else had an issue similar?

Following this thread with interest as I also have strange noises coming from the steering system/front wheels when hard turning (exacerbated in the wet). Mentioned it to dealer at 1st service. Of course, the noise didn't happen then.

Enjoy your roomy rooster!

My wait to the UK was nearly 4 months....but worth it!

I'm liking that a lot.....hmmmm!

Same dealer as where I got my Scout came from a couple of months ago. So far, no problems with the dealer or the car. Look forward to hearing your report!

Yup - it looks *really* good! Glad the wait is over. Another one to compare notes with!

Great news! Not long to go now.

Hold on to your comb-over! Skoda Roomster Scout: As cool as 'Agadoo' - Independent Online Edition > Road Tests

The Mondeo Titanium X Estate scooped the top spot, with the Skoda Octavia Scout 4x4 a close second. The Mondeo also topped the £25,000-£32,000 category. In the less than £16,000 section, the Skoda Roomster Scout 1.9 TDI took the honours, while the £25,000-£32,000 ranking was headed by the Ford Mondeo Zetec five-door hatch.

Yes. Very easily. Seems like a nice bit of kit. The real test, of course, will be getting the bikes in, secured and out again but that will have to wait for now!

Thanks for coming back to me Des. So there's no interior boot release switch? If not, I miss it :( As for a remap...if it costs more money, then definitely not!! Will persevere with the 'auto' setting on the climatronic, maybe I haven't been on long enough journeys yet for it to settle down.

OctaviaT81: Pretty damn good, so far! Not done 90 miles yet but I love driving it, the extra height over my Fabia is nice and I actually like the slight roll in corners! The seats are supportive and very comfortable. The 1.9 diesel isn't the sweetest but provides plenty of ooomph. After my petrol cars it's obviously notably noisier and the vibrating clutch takes some getting used to. Rear Parking sensors I went for are whilst not absolutely necessary still reassuring and work well. I've not had a serious play yet with some of the equipment and so the climatronic is still a mystery. I'd like to just set it to Auto and forget it but the fan seems to be on too high when I do that and if I turn it down it deactivates Auto mode. I guess that the temperature is still regulated though. Page 36 and Page 40 of the manual seem to have the same illustration to accompany info about the alarm (the Scout has an alarm, right?) and the interior boot release. I'm confused as to what exactly I'd be affecting by touching that button. It sure doesn't seem to open the boot! But again, more play time required! Loving the audio equipment. Very impressed indeed. Great sound and hooking up my Zune (mp3 player) is dead easy. I plumped for the short audio lead and place the player in the rear drink holder. Sounds fantastic. The clonking on full steering lock seems to have gone, so not quite sure what it was but glad it's not there anymore. Plus changing from 5th to 4th which was so stiff that I was left wondering the gearbox had 'broken' on the way home from the dealer, as it seemed to shift into no-mans land (neither 4th, 5th or neutral seemed to be selected) is now getting sweeter. So, I'm left delighted so far with the Roomi Scout, love the way it looks and drives and looking forward to getting to grips with some of the things that are still baffling me! (I guess it's back to War and Peace, otherwise known as the manual!). I can't wait for the brakes to bed in - that extra pressure on the pedal that's required at this stage is not reassuring! Oh - and importantly not a rattle or squeak is to be heard so far :thumbup:

It'll be really interesting to see the Ocean Blue one... In the meantime, here's another silver one! Pictured is the interior bike storage rack as well (without bikes) and the two-tone grey (although top part seems black to me) interior plastics.

Finally got mine parked on the drive. Yee-ha!! No mudflaps, as although they're featured in the accessories brochure (and the dealer ordered them for me), they do not fit the Scout. Shame, it would have been one of the few things to differentiate mine from the rest of the silver Scouts that we've seen pics of. The other will be the non-black interior plastic, of course (pics by end of the week, I hope). I have to say that the two tone interior doesn't look half as bad as I thought it would and I'm pretty pleased with it. Only driven about 10 miles in it so far and the gearbox is quite tight (as one would expect) and there was evidence of a clonking noise turning the steering wheel to the far right and left but have to wait and see whether it's anything to worry about. Car seems to turn heads from the VRs crew - saw a Fabia VRs and an Octavia VRs driver take a second seemingly admiring look. Will take a few runs in it before the weekend is out, but now absorbing the handbook (not the best plain English!) and trying to get to grips with the central locking/alarm/safe system, the Climatronic and the interior bike storage system! All in all, I'm delighted to have joined the Scouts (and at age 41 too)!

A couple more new pics of the Fabia Combi Scout.

Hmmm Des - initial thoughts on boot cover are understandably not too complimentary but needs must, I guess and I may well order one too. At least it's cheap. Sunglasses holder is a different matter. I think it's great. Thanks very much for the pictures (and the mp3 lead advice). Only 9 more sleeps until I can take pics of my own
