    Exterior Just awesome, though looks are always subjective differing from person to person, But I strongly feel that you don't need all those curves to make something look muscular like in the case of verna fluidic. Rapid from every angle outside looks like a powerful car, much fuller than vento.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are exactly same as vento, and that's where I think skoda could have done something better. I mean we don't want similar car being sold on two diffrent names. Though we all have accepted that interiors of polo and vento are very practical and built material used is of top quality so the same goes for rapid as well. Good space, hieght adjust and steering adjust is just a good option making driving bit stress free for people of diffrent hieght.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is the same for both vento and rapid. Fabia lacked in petrol engine, so I was expecting skoda this time around to work on it to offer a better petrol version, but disappointingly it remians the same, compare it with city and ut beats rapid hands down. But talk about the diesel version, I bet my money on its performance to be best in class. It has has good mid range, has got nice accelartion, drive it in city or highway, you won't be complaining about the performance.

    Ride Quality & Handling You be in the driving seat or be in the back seat, you'll be comfortable. It has got nice space. Very good at cornering at some sharp turns, ABS helps you take good control at high speeds. Steering is very responsive and gives you confidence while driving. You won't need gear change too often, so simply enjoy the ride.

    Final Words Nicely priced, good space, comfort, Looks, disel engine etc etc etc. Well I mean if you already had enough of hyundai or suzuki, and want to try some european machine, you should consider it seriously.

    Areas of improvement Well There is no perfect car. Has got some. But not complaining.

    Looks, engine refinement, SpaceToo similar to vento
