Volkswagen Virtus review

Power, Handling performance to the highway. With full control in hands. Mileage is also good in both conditions. Look like Audi A3. Go for it with a second thought. Because the car is a sedan and a sedan is a car.

HOTROD RAPID RIDER

I am Raveen a Skoda Technician you can buy a skoda Rapid rider edition and you can upgrade it to a top model and have great fun Riding it. It is a Sedan Beast. It will have great feel in driving comfort for a long drive also but the service cost is little high because it is imported car.

2017 Skoda Rapid First Drive Review

By Abhishek Nigam21 Nov 2016

Adding some sharpness are the new quartz-cut projector headlights. Adding some more drama is the chrome eyelash blending in with the jewel-shadow LED daytime running lights. It might sound complex but it does look good. The bumper has been revised as well with redesigned fog lights and now incorporating a lip spoiler s well.
