New Roomster specs as of 1st July

silvermog · 02-07-2008, 10:48

Cashback deal has gone, now replaced by a 'buy the model below' deal, ie. buy a Roomster 2, get a Roomster 3/Scout, with the same engine.

Looks like Skoda have listened and tidied up the options list ... latest brochure lists 17" Kentaur alloys (£305), cruise control (£155) and part leather upholstery (£550) options for the Roomster (Scout)

Not yet fully worked out what the differences are in:

Small Leather Pack - 4 spoke steering wheel, gearchange knob/gaiter
Small Leather Pack II - 3 spoke steering wheel, gearchange knob/gaiter
Part Leather Upholstery - bolsters in leather (?)

And some other new things for 2009

skodayouth · 02-07-2008, 11:34

Loving the Dual Sunvisors!!!

Can't count the times the suns been to bright at the side and at the front, should make summer motoring much more enjoyable,

Hope it's retrofittable

Whats new in the top pic, is that a darker onyx trim?

StuartBell · 02-07-2008, 12:08

Don't like the open shelves instead of proper glove boxes, though.

The rear parcel shelf looks an improvement.

Dark trim is now available for spec trim 1 (base model). Unfortunately no glove box cover in trim 1...

silvermog · 02-07-2008, 13:28

OK, so thats :-

- New painted marking on vent adjusters (?)
- Moved button to disable passenger airbag (?)
- Dark trim change (?)
- Double visors
- 17" wheels ?
- Not sure what fabia Estate change is ... looks like the old Audi A4 loadcover design
- Whats the deal with the Roomster boot?? Its a hard cover to the floor that folds ... underboot space ... lost the plot here
- New colour options

It's a light, not a button, doesen't seem to have changed

You right about the boot, cant see what your going to fit under that

Spare wheel

or is it in place of a spare wheel?

silvermog · 02-07-2008, 18:12

So, is it they've dropped the spare wheel spacesaver design and gone to a can of tyreweld? Maybe the photo is supposed to intimate that they've got space under there to spare now ...

I know the model I took out recently had a simple mat in the boot, this looks like a fanfolding hard boot floor (the handle is new isn't it?), but why you'd show it off with the sporting goods in the way defeats me ... ;-)

So, MY2009 looks pretty underwhelming ... they've tidied up the brochure (for consistency) and added a "part leather" option, whilst the innovation in the cabin is a double sunvisor and a smidgeon of white paint ;-)

Not that it needed much improvement really ...

The light images/graphics on the airbag off indicator have changed slightly from an 07/08 model.

they havent lost the spare wheel, thats a variable boot floor just like what you get in the octy elegance!

remember the floor isnt flush with the bottom of the boot opening. so theyve done what allot of our motability customers wanted and put it in so they can slide their motability scooters in easier!

well done skoda!

That was one of the only things I would change. I never understood why the floor wasn't flush with the opening.

Captain Sisko · 04-07-2008, 10:06

Is it a full size spare or space saver on these cars?

theres no actual mention of the variable floor on any of my paperwork so far, so i would say full size on them all.

Would it be possible to buy this 'variable boot floor' separately; it will make it a load easier for our (elderly) dog getting in and out?
