Re: roomster shopping

Deals available on a NEW Roomster at present; pay for a '1' and get a '2' OR pay for '2' and get a '3' or 'Scout' - plus you ought to be able to get a discount on this.

Otherwise - go for a GOOD discount on a year old.

What to look for? All the usual stuff, best spec you can afford and fitted options.

Looking at 1.4 (TDI?) try and go for the 80 bhp in '2' trim upward; meatier performance with good economy and a lovely 3 cylinder burble/growl. Good luck.

PS> WECLOME to Briskoda
