After three years sterling service the Roomie has gone back to the dealers to be replaced by a Golf Estate... As with the previous two Skodas we've owned we have had no problems at all with it... Its done just under 44000 miles and is nicely run in, should make a good buy for someone...

Apart from 4 services the only other items needing replacement were the two front tyres at 19k, they are just due for replacement now, so whoever gets it will have to get a couple more... the back ones have miles of life in them and the spare's never been used...

MPG has been about 55 in the summer and 53 in the winter... We've never had to top up the oil between services... I have the back cover for the gap between the back seats and load cover, as we paid for it I've taken it with me, not much use in the Golf though! It still has the door wind deflectors as I didn't think I should try and remove them!

As its a level 3 spec it also includes the panoramic sunroof, which is probably the thing we'll miss most... The flexible seating is a damn good feature too! Perhaps in three years time if they've revamped it with the DSG 'box with the diesel we'll get one again... We'll have to see!

So, bye, bye Roomie, you've been a good little car!

Any reason you didnt switch to either a Fabia estate, or Octy estate & went with the Golf ?

Your not going to say price or specification are you ?

Fabia too small and no DSG/diesel combo and Octy too expensive... Roomie also didn't have DSG/diesel... Close call for the Roomie, though...
