In the interior of the Scala, there is plenty of legroom, even when fully occupied, and the trunk has a volume of at least 467 litres. However, the narrow platform brings with it a rather small interior width, so that a somewhat tube-like feeling of space arises.

Strange: 1.0 TSI and double coupler are in both test candidates, but only the Scala shows a starting weakness.

However, the Scala is plagued by a strange starting weakness: either it sneaks or it sprints, everything in between requires a very sensitive right foot. The somewhat lame automatic start-stop system is noticeable in both cases.
Consumption and price speak for the Fabia
That engine and gears of the Fabia work better together is also noticeable at the gas station. Despite the slightly higher curb weight, it consumes 0.2 liters less per 100 kilometers. And at the checkout? Separate the two about 4000 euros price difference. Almost everyone would then like to drive a Fabia.
