    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior Very stylish and sexy exterior design with powerful headlamps. The front grill resembles the Fabia but seems to be a bit more broader than Fabia. Skoda Logo as usual is awesome.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is very spacious and comfortable for very long drives too. Rear seating is also good for tall people and old people on long drives. Climatronic control with good music system and chrome plating in it add an elegant look to the interiors. Boot space is large and spacious.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance is really great. The turbo is very very powerful and in every gear the vehicle picks up speed very very quickly. touches 200kmph without any lag in top gear. Able to catch even high-speed cars with ease with the Rapid. The name of the car suits the performance of the car. Really RAPID. Fuel Economy is okay. Gearbox as usual to Skoda standards is good and smooth. Very quick response to throttle. will throw off any car in its segment when it comes to power.

    Ride Quality & Handling Jamming the Brake pedal at high speeds is a bit risky in this car. Ride quality not upto the standards of Skoda. Handling at high speeds also seems a bit risky. But suspensions are good and clearance is good. Would never get the underbody scrapped even at the huge speedbreakers.

    Final Words Really worth the money and the cheapest in its segment with a very powerful turbo to rock on. Reaches 200kmph faster than any car in its segment.

    Areas of improvement  Interior Quality of Plastics, Front Seating Position.
