Visibility and ride are good and I've had no problems to date. But read the small print - the brochure shows a head restraint fitted to the middle rear seat. On purchasing the car I queried the missing head restraint and was told that it was a factoy fitted option. It was only £45 extra, I would have paid the difference. Because the middle seat is not offering the same level of protection as the other four, I effectively own a four seat car.
I have had this car now for about a month and it is fantastic. I did a straight part-exchange with a Skoda dealer, I traded in my Mini Cooper Park Lane for the Roomster. The Mini's gearbox and handling is awful. The Skoda is a superb drive, gearchanges are so flui. It's comfortable, has a great stereo system and is very distinctive. The Roomster 3 has so much equipment that you do not need to add anything from the options list. My dogs love it too! Buy one now.
