@@mohawkZT Actually I agree. Doug Demuro made a video on his favourite reviews he put out in 2020 and his top choice was surprisingly a video he did on a Jeep. The reason he said it was his favourite and his most important was because Jeep actually contacted him to do the world exclusive launch video of one of their new vehicles. It was still in the prototype stage too, so it couldn't actually drive or anything but still, it means even the old fashioned corporate machines methods are updating as they've recognised how important the KZread Car Review scene is.

I just drove this car for 4 hours with the same engine but with auto gear box and and I was super impressed. Very spacious inside. Engine was punchy and unintrusive. Gear box was doing its job perfectly. You can shove it into Sport by pulling the lever if you want immediate accelaration. It pulls like a charm. Suspension is fine. The only complaint I had is that at speed (130 km/hm) the road noise got pretty loud but not unbearable. I totally recommend it.

Not just because I am a Czech, I do believe that the Scala is a very good all-around car given the price range. I tried the 1.5 TSI model (top of the range) a couple of times and I was genuinely surprised how good it was. Together with the build quality, practicality and the price, it is, in my eyes, better alternative than a comparable Focus or VW Golf.

@Olterior

Thats because it is. Its more spacy than golf, just as well equipped, way cheaper, and is a fun enough to drive. The 1l 115bhp model is nippy around backroads and city, only really shows its limits at around 140kmh.

I think it's because of the quarter window at the back is a bit larger than typical hatchback makes the profile looks a bit estate like. It looks very decent at the front and bacc. Overall a practical and well rounded family hatch, maybe a bit too sensible (predictable, boring) in the class ...

Having had triplets, and having sold my Skoda Octavia VR-s wagon because we couldn't get 3 x child seats across the back seat - about time Skoda!!!

1:08 it could be a new A3 sportback in disguise

6:43 Matt you sound really daft moaning about the keys. Its keyless that means u keep it in your pocket /purse without ever needing to take it out! It's convenience not nuisance!

for scala 1.5 TSI DSG , which transmission used ? wet or dry clutch ?

His inner brummie comes out when he says “satellite navigation “ 🙂

The technical term is called a “spaceback”

I've got one of those!! Agree with the lane assist it's so annoying having to turn off all the time, I love I have the "Audi" scrolling indicators, I love my tech so its a good car to have for that, you can get a false floor as an option that stops the gap between the seats and floor

which is the best trim/engine combo overall? not bothered about going fast, just decent enough performance/economy

Great Video Review. Its definitely a Hatchback

I do not know how Peugeot does calculation of boot space, but last year when I was car shopping I checked it out due to advertised boot space and it looked nowhere near that number. It looked like every other hatchback in that class. I heard somewhere they include that space under the carpet where the spare wheels go into that calculation, so I will agree with Matt, the Scala does seem to have a larger boot. Edit: Sporty air conditioning, phew, noob! Matt never drove a 90hp car and tried to overtake someone with A/C on! That setting turns it off obviously so you get 20% more performance :)
