Few SKODAUK Scala rivals have such a comfortable ride or offer quite so much practicality. It isn't a particularly pricy used buy, too...
Scala comes in, which is still highly practical and excellent value for money, but doesn't have an enormous rear end that makes it difficult to park in a multi storey.
The Scala offers a choice of two petrol engines and one diesel. The entry-level 1.0-litre turbo, with 94bhp, is perky enough, but the 113bhp version has a bit more overtaking urge, along with a six-speed gearbox for more refined motorway cruising. This engine was replaced by a 109bhp 1.0 TSI 110 unit in 2020. The 148bhp 1.5-litre petrol engine is pretty swift and very refined, while the 113bhp 1.6 diesel is good for those who cover an annual mileage that would put a taxi firm to shame.
in being fun to drive, but it does do a great job of smoothing over the worst road surfaces without being bouncy. The compromise is that it can feel a little floaty over crests and dips at speed. You'll also notice more suspension noise, along with higher levels of wind and road roar than you'll find in some of its rivals, particularly when travelling along a motorway.
The Scala will lean over more in the bends due to its soft suspension, but it still grips the road well and handles very tidily, plus its steering increases in weight progressively as you turn the wheel, giving you the confidence to drive the car briskly. Another strong suit of the Scala is practicality. That it has plenty of room in the front and plenty of adjustment in the driving position is a given for the class, but what's different about the Scala is that it has a really spacious back seat that copes well with bulky child seats and lanky teenagers. The boot is big, too, and shouldn't have any trouble taking a pushchair. We even managed to squeeze seven carry on suitcases into it with no issues whatsoever.
