Successful failure or failed success?
Conclusion
The 2008 Skoda Roomster Scout offers little value to Canadians. Sure, the lines are attractive, but that's about it. The sheer lack of power is a huge handicap, while the suspension is utterly disappointing. Moreover, reliability is an issue.

Of course, it would be a good thing to have more vehicles with a similar body configuration, but the Roomster as it stands now is clearly not suited for our market. In short, while the design is a success, everything else is a complete failure.
