A fine car which is great value for money. Getting over 5 m/Kwh and the acceleration is brisk. Ride is smooth and inner space exceptional. In good weather you will probably get the claimed 251 miles range

The Scala is roomier inside than it looks, and very agile on both the highway and in town — ideal for practical, family use. It also uses less fuel.
