While some people with longer memories may still associate the brand with an earlier incarnation of the company, recent developments at Skoda, which is owned by Volkswagen, have produced an entirely different driving experience. Today, a Skoda Roomster car lease presents an opportunity to get to know one of the more innovative vehicles on the market.
The Car That You Get
Reviews of the Skoda Roomster are consistently positive in terms of the practicality of the car for family purposes, as it offers efficient and economical fuel consumption and a good green rating overall. The design of the car is intended to blend a slightly more sports style look for the front half of the car with a distinctly practical approach for the back half. As a result, there is a large amount of space available for both passengers and luggage. The legroom for rear seat passengers, in particular, is likely to make this an attractive option as a family car, with lots of space for the children to make themselves comfortable. The ride is stable and the steering wheel and dashboard controls are designed with ease of use in mind. In safety tests, the car scores highly and there are options available that further improve the handling. They include electronically controlled tyre pressure and hill-hold control.
Leasing Options
The Skoda Roomster features either manual or automatic transmission and there are several models available, along with a range of engine sizes. There are leasing options for both petrol engine and diesel engine models.
In a mysterious place far away lies an underrated menace waiting for you attention. Unassuming, reliable and a good attempt to beat the Japanese at their own game – no I’m not talking about the Yeti monster vs Godzilla, I’m talking about the Skoda Yeti.
This Skoda offers levels of seating flexibility that will put its competitors to shame. Don’t think you will be going up the alps in it though as it doesn’t have huge off road capability. You will be able to quite happily negotiated that tricky kerb outside your Childs school though.
The Yeti is equipped with a funky 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine and a 2.0-litre diesel engine. However these versions only come with in 2 wheel drive mode. If you want to complete some moderate off-roading then you can go for the 4×4 version: a 1.8-litre petrol and a 2.0-litre diesel. These both come with some clever technology to help get a little more out of your off road experience. They have an ‘off-road’ button which when pressed, remaps the throttle, does something fancy with the ABS and traction control system. The function allows you to creep down hills with your feet off the pedals in neutral and yet retain control of the throttle. In addition, you can still keep control of the car if it stalls.
The best seller will probably be the 2 wheel drive, 110hp petrol version. The higher range version offer so much more though. This is a great car and shows some real ability. Even as a 4×4, the top range models offer a dash to 60 in under ten seconds and a top speed of nearly 120mph. Ride and handling are what you would expect of something which looks like a wardrobe with wheels.
The unfortunate problem with this car is that really, there isn’t one –well it isn’t the prettiest thing, i admit. As I said earlier the car is underrated. There are a plethora of features I could write about but unfortunate no-ones ever going to know about them except a very small number of customers. Maybe its my duty tto inform you on the subject, who knows. The only thing I can say, is check the car out yourself. It’s well worth your attention.
Skoda has come a long way since their communist bloc routes. Their New Octavia continues their new dynamic break in the capitalist market. Don’t think it looks like an imperialist pig though. This unassuming car is reliable and although it won’t be a exhibition in the Tate any time soon, it doesn’t look ugly. Plus, the 2009 model looks even better than the original model. Skoda also offer a range of body kits and accessories including spoiler and fog lights.
The Octavia is a value for money family car and a stable to mini cab driver. It has a huge amount of space, even the hatchback. However, for more room, you get the estate version and the rear seats fold away. With the rear seats up, you can very comfortably fit 2 adults and three growing children in the car. You could even put the dog and some shopping the boot too.
There is a wide range of specification and engine options. From frugal, off-road, estate and a sporty version. There are almost 70 different version available. All are good as family movers and offer great reliability. Engine options start at a 1.4 petrol engine, turbo diesels and include a moderately powerful sports engine. Prices start from £11.500 and go to £21,700. It comes with optional extras such as satellite navigation and a semi automatic gearbox.
