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.
