Thread: Opinion at first glance

Hi!
I am looking forward to buying a Skoda Roomster by any means, in the next few years. And that's because I think it would suit me well in every aspect. And that is ok. But the fact is that most of my friends and even family think that it looks kind of weird. I cannot say that I don't understand them, but I never met someone yet that sees it like I do (except my girlfriend, who is happy because it has four wheels and a fifth that you can steer with ).
What I am asking is: what was your own reaction when you first saw it?
Did your opinion change after some time, am I crazy or is it just everybody
else that doesn't see the point?

When I first clapped eyes on a Roomster a few years ago, I thought it was a little different. Others clearly think the design is a bit quirky. I now have an SE in aqua blue on order but that is mainly so I can carry the mutt behind a dog guard instead of on a filthy back seat. Since I placed my order 4 weeks ago, the only Roomster I`ve seen on the road was today; and I only live 5 miles from the dealer where I bought my Fabia, so I`m sure it will attract a little interest Bland it aint!

I thought it was a little odd looking but better looking than other simular cars like citroen and Fiat ?. The first one I saw though was having the roof cut off it after a head on colison. It may have taken 25mins for the fire and ambalence to get him out but The driver didnt have a scratchon him.
