Skoda Roomster (2006 - )  

Roomy boot and plenty of storage space, decent handling and pleasant to drive, beautifully built, good value.

Not as roomy as a Berlingo Multispace and no sliding rear side doors, centre rear seat is narrow 2+1, no spare wheel from 2009MY.

Introduction

When you first look at the Skoda Roomster you think it's going to be another Berlingo.

A very good combi-van utility-car kind of thing, yet still basically a van.

Get behind the wheel, though, and it doesn't feel like that at all.
