Hello guys, many thanks for your replies. Helped me a lot. Based on what I have read here i am leaning towards the Scout 1,9 dti. However I will make my final decision once I know the difference in the fixed cost taxes (annual insurance, annual taxes, etc). If the difference is not much I will go for the 1,9 version.

Thank you guys for the insights. I will take a manual this time. After the problems I had with tha auto in the Snenic, I will not buy an auto anymore. And I also like manuals more than autos anyway. I have notices that the Skoda websites now don't use the numbers anymore. I mean they say Roomster classis, family etc. I guess it would correspond as below: Roomster classic = Roomster 1 Roomster style = Roomster 2 Roomster family = Roomster 3 Roomster scout = Roomster scout but I could be wrong. One more qustion I have is: what are the main differences between the different trims. is the car cabin (dimensions and size) different or is the quality of the fittings inside different? I am still not convinced about the glassroof. I like it but I am afraid that may be source for trouble in the future (you know breaking down and stuff). I read one thread here and it looks that there are a few Skoda users who have problems with the panoramic roof. I am not sure if I want to buy a diesel or a petrol first and what engine size second. At the moment I am thinking to get a 1.4 dti or 1.9 dti but I will make my decision once I know the differences in cost of insurance and other taxes here. I am not sure how much we will drive it here but I dont expect to drive more than 10,000 miles per year. Thanks again for your answers. Cheers, Roland

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum. I haven't purchased a Skoda yet but I am considering to buy one in the summer. I was very close to buying one almost two years ago but than I decided to get a second hand renault scenic from 2000. That was a good car but i had problems with its automatic transmission. Later I read the auto trans in those cars are a headache. Anyway, i have sold it now and will buy a new car soon. Skoda Roomster is the preferred choice, at least until now. i would highly appreciate if you guys have anything to say. First, would you recommend a Roomster, or would you recommend another make in this category (scenic, picasso, Mazda 5, Mercedes B-class, etc) Second, which type of Roomster would you recommend in terms of frame/chassis and engine. I know you will ask me questions so I will provide some info beforehand. I live in Copenhagen so as you may imagine I will not use the ar very much here around town. We (me and my wife) have 2 kids (6 and 2). The youngest one suffers from Cerebral palsy so we may have to carry a chair or something with us for a bit longer than usual as he is not able to walk on his own yet. We may need the car to go around town especially with the kids but we may also have to use it for longer journeys since we are not from Denmark. I have no idea yet what are the difference in the running cost per each model, i.e. how much is the insurance and the other taxes and how they differ from one model to another. Any suggestions will be welcomed. Cheers to everyone Roland
