I’ve just ordered a 2023 SE in the 1.5 tsi with the DSG. These now come with two spoke steering wheel and only 4k miles on the clock at a bargain price. Having test driven one, it’s actually not that much slower than my GTI, and although I really would have liked to spend the extra money on the M.C range, I think it still looks fab
This is one of the most practical, best value, nicely packaged small cars you can buy today.......only thing it could improve on is the looks but they are still acceptable
I don't know what are you on about, the car looks awesome. Just the basic trim without full LED lights and the basic alloys make it kinda ugly. I bought mine two weeks ago and it looks beautiful with the wheels and colour i picked for the car. instagram.com/p/B6sllfpjOf_/
No,!! I totally disagree with your summing up. When you are crawling around on speed restricted roads and in queues of traffic, excitement is the farthest thing from your mind; ticking every box is the best remedy for pent up frustration at the conditions.
I just adore what they have done to the back with the black glass covering most of the rear door/boot. Skoda make great cars; I've had 2 of them: the Octavia Estate vRS and the Skoda Yeti both brilliant fpr different reasons...
One of my friends has the forerunner of this - the Rapid Spaceback - it's been a really good car - totally trouble-free and has a great boot - ideal for Golfers. I suspect this will be even better - and, personally, I like the simple styling.
Yes I can confirm I have the rapid spaceback right now brilliant car I'm on 104k miles and it's amazing engine isnvery good and oil changes are easy to do
Ok taste is different, but this car is seriously good looking! Much better than the focus or golf. Maybe the kia xceed or vaux come close but still. Front has audi look and feel and back a volvo class. It is perfect!
I have a 1.5 Scala Monte Carlo and am very happy with it. I like the fact that it does not have a VW badge and for me it is a better designed car. I like Skodas
The front looks a bit like a mish mash between the new 1 series and an A1 . Many want to be seen in one of those , so this look will appeal to many . Add the 3 grand bonus on top of the Golf and you know you've got a winner .
@@eponymous7910 Really impressed. Not as much fun as my daughters Fabia but comfortable and good fuel economy. Still wont fit my wolfhound or great dane in the back though....
Originality and design. These days, most car manufacturers are too busy copying each other to even think about such an outragious concept. For me, it looks like a hybrid Audi/Seat.
You don't find the same bits in a Scala as Golf. Scala is based on the Polo platform. But still longer than Golf - not shorter as said. I would like to hear which car is better, more spacious, more luxuriose and fun for the price of a Scala. Only when you can point at another car there can be some substance in your claim.
I have an Octavia with the same automatic transmission. Never had jerkiness issues, but two times the engine cut out when going very slow and stopping at a small incline. This was probably due to the transmission. Perhaps I did not press the brake hard enough quickly enough. I find the Octavia barely large enough to use as a family car, considering interior space. Boot space is exactly enough in the Octavia, a lot of thing just barely fit, but they do fit, so boot space is fine on the Octavia. Going larger than the Octavia would mean issues with parking in many places where I live, or at least problems with being able to open the doors after having parked. Get the Octavia.
I am considering a Scala to replace my Astra. I am on my third Astra. The Scala has caught my eye due to the excellent value. Would a Scala be more expensive for parts and servicing than an Astra?
The Scala is based on the Vision RS (which IS a exciting car). The Dynamic and Emotion packages are mandatory, as well as the sport suspension and either the 17" or 18" aero wheels. Without that it's not a real Scala.
It seems that the general public share your view about lack of inspiration - how often do you see one of these? Is it shallow to go for good looks and interesting design, as per Peugeot 3008? Personally I'm happy that not everyone is a pragmatist
Does the reviewer even know who/what won the Red Dot Award in 2019? just...wow And to top it all off, he got the cheapest version with the ugliest color and rims. wow again How some people get into reviews, beats me.
You can tell he really dislikes the car. Lately I saw a basic trim Scala at the car dealer and it was hideous. A fully kitted out Scala on the other hand looks absoluetly georgeous. I don't know any other car that transforms that much.
I guess design is subjective but to me this whole car is as dull as dishwater. It’s just a car for those who are not too bothered with what they have. Just my opinion.
Fact check reviews.
Scala is NOT smaller than the Golf. It's bigger in every dimension.

@@abcarroll Do Veedub group buy the Award? 🤔
This kind of cars we need less electronic and less to go wrong... Happy customer
Problem is that people are tooo spoiled and want everything

Quick note this is based on the Polo underpinnings. they have strechted the chassis to its max.

Yes, I like the rear window, it looks great just after I wash it. This my 2nd Skoda. I had an Octavia back in 1999.

The Scala is longer than the golf. Quick Google search would've told them that.
I like the looks, in fact just ordered one, Launch edition (in Australia) with panoramic roof. Downside is I have to wait until December :-(
How's it been so far? It's a great looking car imo

Completly disagree with your opinion on the negative styling. I really think this car has close design
Silhouette of the Audi A3 Sport line.

It is not shorter than a Golf, it is longer by 11cm, and that is a lot!
yeah, did reviewer didnt do his job at all.
Yes and it's not based on the golf chassis it's a stretched polo chassis
The Scala is based on the Vision RS (which IS a exciting car). The Dynamic and Emotion packages are mandatory, as well as the sport suspension and either the 17" or 18" aero wheels. Without that it's not a real Scala.
I agree, without the 17 or 18 inch aero alloys the car doesn't look anywhere near as good.
Have you thought about reviewing the SE L a model? That would give you the excitement you are looking for…
It seems that the general public share your view about lack of inspiration - how often do you see one of these? Is it shallow to go for good looks and interesting design, as per Peugeot 3008? Personally I'm happy that not everyone is a pragmatist
Auto no, manual yes 😊
Would prefer this spec with sat nav because eventually a newer phone wont support older carplay/auto versions
IMO the Scala looks better than the latest Golf
I like both the Scala and the New Volkswagen Golf
When are we getting a hybrid VRS? I need one NOW!
An excellent car.
Does the reviewer even know who/what won the Red Dot Award in 2019?

Not seen many on the road! 🤔
How many people even know or care what the red dot award is? I had never heard of it until a month ago!
The Dq200 dsg dry clutch not the most reliable transmission.
The CarPlay is supposed to be wireless did you test it ?
it's optional not included in the basic trim
How easy isit to do a oil.chnage on them
This car is a
SMOOOOTH OPERATOOOOOOR
Cold weather engine management is bad.
This particular Scala is very boring to look at! Painted in silver, black interior and little wheels screams “I’m just here to be practical”
Good nowt wrong with that.
