Santa's early for the Roomster

SKODA has effectively reduced the cost of its family-orientated Roomster model by £1,500 in a move that adds extra equipment for free.

The offer applies to the Roomster 2 model, which gets a panoramic sunroof, rear parking sensors, metallic paint, sunset glass and electric rear windows.

Bundled together as the Family Pack, which previously added £1,500 to the cost of the car, the extras are in addition to the standard 15-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, electrically-adjustable and heated door mirrors, electric front windows, remote central locking, curtain airbags and trip computer.

Costing from £11,630, the Roomster 2 has a 1.4-litre turbodiesel engine generating 80bhp with 60mpg economy and a CO2 figure of 135g/km.
