  • @SteveM-ly7oy

    I would buy this over an Octavia because in my view it looks better, I don't need a massive boot (467 is plenty) and the design is fresher. I know there is going to be a new Octavia in 2020 but this Scala is fine.

    Skoda Octavia seems to be the Uber and Taxi driver winner in Europe. It is certainly the most common single model I encounter in Spain and Portugal. And I'm always impressed. It's big enough, comfortable, quiet, smooth and seems to last 300,000km without any effort.

    Current model Golf estate driver here. I looked at an entry level spec Scala in the dealership when they first arrived a couple of months ago and was really impressed with the base spec car. A big step up from the Rapid. And you finally get all the tech you can get in bigger cars, if you want it. I consider stepping down to the Scala and save some cash, when my current lease has run out next year. More leg room and quite enough boot space for me. And it will fit better in my narrow garage next to my motorcycle. Next gen Golf looks promising and offers a PHEV option. And then there's the new Octavia yet to come out. It will be a tough choice...

    Many people in the comments talk about the ridiculous price of the Scala.
    Well, in Greece it starts from 14.900€ (1.0 and 95 bhp) and it can go up to 23.500€ (1.6 TDI and 116 bhp) for the top spec version with panoramic sunroof,two tone colour and every gimmick you like.
    So, I don't think it is expensive for what it offers.
    The only downside is the fact that the diesel engine comes only with the DSG and not with the 6 speed manual.

    Great reviews Marek! One of the few honest intelligent reviewers on the web. .... Thanx
    If you have the opportunity, recommend taking the 1.5 TSI for a rip. Completely different animal. The extra power transforms the little Skala and put a huge grin on my face. Interestingly, still maintained similar fuel economy to the 1.0.
    About 20% savings compared to golf with more features and most important, much better service than VW.

    Scala is based on Polo chassis, it is not a real compact segment. You can compare track width:Scala Front 1531, Back 1516[less than Kia Rio!!] and Golf Front 1549, Back 1520.

    The Rapid was one of the last usefully narrow cars that still had space for four. And it was cheap. The Scala is neither cheap, nor slender. It's just an exercise in brand positioning. You pay a bit less than for a Golf, it's a little less luxurious, and you get a slightly lower resale value. Who cares?

    I am having for few days a Scala for test.
    The interior quality sucks , many cheap made - hard plastics which make an awful sound if you squeeze them.
    The fuel consumption for the 1,5 engine isn't so good.
    Also, the boot - bootlid ,is small.
    The window washing fluid container isn't practical..If you try to fill it up , will be mess all around it from fluid water.
    Octavia is the best solution by far.

      The boot is effectively the second largest in the class but you say it's small?

    • @SilverIndian
      @SilverIndian 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you see the car from outside, you expect the boot to be larger.
      But its size is average.

    Skoda 1.0 for €32000. Are you mad to judge it as a sensible car? It’s a shit in the first place and expects someone to pay this lump of money? Let’s laugh at its face and forget it.

    • @shroomyesc
      @shroomyesc 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They're called options for a reason and that's because they're *optional.* Of course you're gonna pay more if you get leather seats, all the tech packs, a dsg, huge wheels, etc etc. You wouldn't reasonably get almost every option anyway like this car has.

      And these are the same prices I use. Bear in mind I include all the options this car has, so even if it is in trim A, B, C, D, etc., there are also some options on it within that trim. These options can sometimes raise the price of the car by 10-30%.

      The 118i I reviewed around the same time as the Scala started at 28k, and was specced out to 43k. I bet if you configured the BMW with the same options this Skoda has, it would come out to cost at least 40k.
