The model
Read full Skoda Scala reviewThe Skoda Scala ticks key family car boxes better than some more expensive models. It's very roomy inside, and the interior feels of a good quality. You'll find sharper driving experiences elsewhere, but the Scala certainly rides and handles respectably. In short, it begs the question of why you would spend more.
The trim
See full equipmentThis is the sportiest looking Scala of the lot – gaining 18in wheels and sports front seats, as well as some luxuries such as a heated steering wheel, keyless entry and a panoramic sunroof – but choosing Monte Carlo Edition doesn’t transform the way the Scala drives.
The engine
See full engine specsThe 1.0 TSI 116 uses a turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol engine (like the TSI 95), but you get an extra, useful dose of performance and a six-speed manual gearbox – you can pay extra for an automatic gearbox. It's our engine of choice.
