Hi all.

Back after a long period away.

After 12 years with my Octavia VRS Tdi 184 Combi, it's time to change.

I've been looking at the Kamiq and the Scala but find I'm drawn to the Scala a little more.

Before I decide, any real world feedback on the Scala would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I went from a Karoq SportLine to a Scala MC 1.5 DSG about 15 months ago and it’s the best decision I made and have zero regrets.

Other than an occasional creaky binnacle (which I also had with the Karoq) I’m very happy with it. I’d hesitate to say it’s sporty but it’s rapid enough and handles well enough for me.

Been on a few holidays in it, 4-up plus the dog and all the luggage and it handles it admirably, in fact the the kids (17 &18) both reckon it’s more comfy as a rear seat passenger than the Karoq was.

Boot space is good, seats are comfy and apart from the occasional glitch the infotainment system works well (I use CarPlay as I find the native Škoda satnav truly awful). The only complaint from my wife is that the sun visor vanity mirrors don’t have a light but I can live with that.

Is there anything specific info you’re looking for?

Nothing specific, just general feedback really.

I'm looking at a 74 plate one.

I have read elsewhere that the Infotainment system can have issues but apart from that, i haven't found anything that seems to be overly problematic.

It all appeared fine on the test drive.

So far so good for me, as for the infotainment, that’s only a hop and catch and not a regular occurrence, holding the on/off button down for about 10 seconds to reboot it usually solves the issue.
