Skoda Scala Monti Carlo 2023 is it a good car?

[Jolenepleasetakeawaymyman]

Hi I am looking to buy a second hand car and I am considering a Skoda Scala 2021-2023. Does anyone have one and how do they find it? I don’t see many around and so thought maybe they weren’t popular. Interested to hear any opinions. Thank you

Since the days of the Skoda / Lada jokes, Skoda has been taken over by Volkswagen. Can't see you going far wrong with it.

Skoda is a reliable manufacturer. They haven't made the Scala that long , and buyers probably either want the smaller citigo or fabia, or a octavia or suv rather than the medium scala. That might account for not seeing as many of them.

@Mairzydotes and @Paisleydad thank you both for your replies.

@Mairzydotes I hadn’t thought of those reasons for not seeing many around but it makes a lot of sense.

I need a reliable car for driving around two tall young men but at a reasonable price and the Scala seems to fit the bill. I am test driving next week! Very excited as I don’t have a car at the moment and I really am looking forward to the independence to go places not easily reached by public transport.

Also looking at a scala. Performs well and better value when compared to a Golf - which my other option.

Scala has a bigger boot and good legroom. Think it'd be fine for 2 in the back but a squeeze for 3 adults. Haven't bought it yet but think I will do. I found this review helpful

Thank you @RaphaelDidIt for the article it sounds positive about the Scala and that it would suit my needs and budget. The Golf is a bit over my budget but looks good too.

Hi just up dating in case it is helpful to anyone else. Well I went with the ŠKODA Scala. So far really liking it. Great boot size, and leg room in both front and back. Easy to drive and comfortable. So far so good.

So did I! Happy driving.
