Anyone got a Roomster ??????

From what i hear the 1.6 in the caddy is (understandably) a bit gutless.

The Roomster is base on the caddy underpinnings, so i'd say you'll have the same issues.

Roomster has a polo front end and golf rear...the caddy has a commercial (truck/van) trans axle. I tried both & bought the tdi roomster.

Someone in the coal mining region in central Queensland has one. I must say I couldn't believe it when I spotted one on the drive out to Blackwater from Rockhampton. The closest dealer is in Nambour which is about 700kms away.
Strangeness. But hey it was good to see a Skoda in the middle of nowhere.

i found the 1.9 oil burner to be a great match for the roomster. pulled really well from low down and the ratios for the gear box seemed spot on! sure its a bit gruff especially in comparison to the 2.0 TDi but its still a good honest little unit

believe it or not i had a blast driving it around the AHG track.. even when i spun it onto the grass
