PROS It offers Golf space for Polo money Plenty of safety equipment Refined petrol engines Swish new cabin Skoda has a history of stretching its cars out to the largest extremes it can manage – which is why even though the Scala is based on the same platform as the SEAT Ibiza and Volkswagen Polo it's far closer to a Golf in size. As usual, Skoda is going for the maximum value for money for its small family car, but doing it by offering all the space for the money – and not just aiming for the cheapest price. Thanks to its larger dimensions, it counts cars such as the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra, Hyundai i30 and Peugeot 308 as rivals. It's cheaper than these rivals, though, so the big question is whether its more humble underpinnings allow it to hold its own against what we know to be some seriously well-rounded opposition. Impressive amounts of space The Scala's main draw, especially for demanding family motorists, is the amount of space on offer. While the front of the cabin can feel a little narrow – a product of that supermini platform – rear passenger space is absolutely superb with legroom and headroom in abundance, even with the optional panoramic glass roof. Adults will be more than happy to ride back here even for long journeys, which isn't something you can always say about cars of this size. The Scala's interior quality is a major improvement on the Rapid that went before it, with plusher material quality and a more modern design. It's not on a par with the Volkswagen Golf, but sits close to where the Ford Focus is at for sheer desirability. Taking centre stage is the main infotainment screen (up to 9.2-inches on SE L trim) and Virtual Cockpit digital dashboard (also standard on SE L trim). The former is the usual Skoda fare, boasting functional, easy to use software and decent graphics, while the latter improves on the equivalent system seen on the Volkswagen Golf and displays sat-nav, media, phone and trip computer information. Wide array of available safety equipment As well as offering up to nine airbags, the Scala comes with a raft of safety technology (either standard or optional) designed to help the driver avoid accidents or reduce the risk of injury in the event of one. This includes standard-fit Lane Assist and Front Assist (including pedestrian detection), as well as optional features such as adaptive cruise control, Side Assist with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Park Assist automatic parking and Crew Protect Assist. Unsurprisingly, when tested by Euro NCAP, the Scala was awarded the full five-star crash-test rating.
