Hi,

I am looking to buy a new (in stock) 95 PS Scala. I am trying to keep the monthly payments down as much as possible. 
I was hoping that the S would be enough for me. The main difference between the models that would interest me is the 4 speakers in the S rather than the 8 in the SE. Does anyone have any experience in hearing both systems?

Can’t comment on S vs SE, but I’d rate the SE L’s system as merely adequate.  Not much in the way of bass response, even with the equaliser adjusted.  Potentially a lot to pay for not a lot of benefit?  Can you not try both yourself - audio is very subjective at the end of the day.

Nobody buys the base model as they are harder to resell. Unless it's going to be a keeper of course.

If any SE all the way S you would be very disappointed. It's not just speakers that are missing

Also this.  AFAIK the SE is the model expected to sell in volume and so the specification reflects that - it has the stuff most people want.  For a start you get a better entertainment system (not just the speakers), adjustable lumbar support, rear parking sensors, and auto lights and wipers.  

If the OP is on a budget perhaps a nearly new vehicle would be more appropriate.  Skoda have some cracking finance offers in the UK on stock vehicles now though!

Se fine, S no. Look at "how many left" Hardly anyone bought the preceding Rapid  S or Toledo S. Those specs belong in the 1970s.
