Apart from a few minor imperfections (caused by the ever-more intrusive computerization of the cabin...), I'm starting to get a feel for this compact, 4.36 m long (same as the Audi A3, but with an extra 47 liters under the parcel shelf in the boot!). Its proportions are excellent: the most spacious inside while remaining compact outside, compared with a Seat Leon 4 or Audi A3. In Monte Carlo trim it is well equipped AND above all offers seats that are both comfortable and that hold you effectively in all situations (in the mountains too, my primary criterion). Finally decided not to deal with the clutch anymore (I long resisted automatics because of the vagaries of gearboxes) I now have the pleasure of changing gears with the paddles OR via the lever shifted to manual mode; what a treat 🙏 After trying the SUV experience with a very nice 150 hp Karoq but with a 6-speed manual, it’s the Scala with the same engine and the DSG7 gearbox that offers much better driving comfort. Less body roll, of course! And less interior volume, but this compact is enough for us after all.... And the Monte Carlo trim offers everything you need and then some.

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.
