The 2006 model with 1.9 tdi engine is very dynamic in combination with the automatic transmission. I drove and enjoyed the opportunity to easily perform an overtaking maneuver or pull the start from the intersection.
There are many different compartments in the cabin for storing things. I especially liked the compartment in the center on the main panel.
Sunshade mirror with lighting
Large spacious luggage compartment with double floor. 1000 items can be stored under it and the surface of the luggage compartment remains free. There are wide niches on the sides with a calculation that you can safely place different bottles there. There is no need to be afraid of rolling away. The side arches above them have two closed niches where you can store car maintenance accessories.
Convenient driving position. It can be adjusted to different positions depending on the driver's preferences or as low as half-lying or as high as in a minivan. This year's model has a high roof position is comfortable for any driver and 2 passengers can always comfortably sit in 2 rows.
Very good engine. It does not require investment on a regular basis only to change the oil other worries were not. No liquid loss.
It was difficult to adjust the inclination of the back of the seat. It is adjusted by a screw-type mechanism. If I wanted to take a seat instead of a driver, it was hard and long to screw. This cannot be done with a single lever train.
Weak suspension quickly broke springs and did not withstand the shock absorbers when driving along the bumpy streets of Riga. It required a lot of investment.
Strange climate control, it doesn't have an AC switch. It can be turned on by setting a low temperature mode.
All models have a rusty part of the rear window in the washer area.

1) Very good engine - a powerful from small RPM - as diesel. Convenient DSG box operation - switches very quickly; there is no doubt that, at time of overtaking can "think" that had experience with some of other gearboxes. Economic - evenly on highway and 120 km / h consumption around 5-5, 2 l / 100)
2) Very capacious car. Its hatchback / liftback bodywork is perfect - much more practical than sedan and it doesn't look like a clumsy wagon.
1) With my height 192cm I dont feel really comfortable at drivers seat. So after a few hundred km have lower back pain and need to rest .
2) High "tunnel" in middle of cabin, so child can only sit on the middle.
3) The issue of typical VW Group cars is a potential problem: nozzles, turbine, two mass flywheel already "sends a message" with small but yet discernible vibration at idle... All of these repairs for "budget" brand Skoda costs about same as VW Golf, Passat, Touran, Tiguan..., Audi A3 etc

Quality salon. Comfortable seats. Good FULL LED lights.
All climate control, radio, seat heating control is ONLY on the tablet ... Within 6 months of the month the touch screen was hanging or did not turn on at all - you can enjoy winter or heat in the cabin, without the ability to adjust anything ... For 21500 eur I was expecting a less problematic car ... New steering wheel - another fixture ... Small and awkward side mirrors. Front assist often works incorrectly. Disappointment about car electronic parts ...

- Dynamics (1.6 l diesel with only 110 HP is OK);
- capacity;
- consumption (real on Highway 4.5 -4.9 litres per 100 km);
- driver comfort
- a new car has a terrible cabin sound insulation - like to sit inside drum beat, bloody ears, particularly bad is interior fittings;

The full package is spacecraft to VW Golf 5 bases. Solid if well maintained, it may face a 300,000 km mileage. Cheap repair. Created for our bad roads.
A galvanised lacquered, but as a thin layer, if bang quickly begins to rust. Engine 1.6 FSI ended at 200.000

A simple and cheap operation (with Russian fuel), easy to find spare parts, a large cabin, huge trunk.
The only - common interior. But there are also positive - carry whatever you want. Just move with a wet rag - everything clean. Something scraped - no sorries! :)
