Hello All, My Roomster 3 1.9Tdi (in Polar Blue), purchased from new in June 2008 has a metal tailgate. How do I know? Because it started rusting before it was three years old! Long story, but was sorted out by Skoda under warranty, so some browny points to them. Regards SkodaRapid136

Hello All, My father is thinking of buying a second hand Roomster 2 1.6 auto - one that is proably around three years old. However, I'd like some feedback from members if there is anything "dodgy" to look out for when inspecting used examples of this automatic. My own Roomster 3 1.9Tdi has been a great little car, with no problems, but I would like to know if there are any underlying "issues" regarding the auto version. I think I am right in saying that the Roomster 2 came with 15" alloy wheels - what is the ride like, compared to the 16" low profile alloys that came on the Roomster 3. Also, automatic Roomsters seem to be as rare as hens teeth in the Nottinghamshire area - if the Skoda website is to be believed. Is this due to the car being a "keeper" or one that not many people buy. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Regards SkodaRapid136
