Skoda Rapid [2014-2015] User Reviews

Exterior I love its dashing looks. Pure class. Looks best in white colour.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Enough space for everyone. Boot space is enough.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent. Great pick up. Feels like an airplane picking up. Fuel economy of my car is 20.5 km/l. Dosen't hurt your pockets. Gears are smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Enjoying every minute of ride. Having time of my life. I keep it as a queen. It gives me that majestic feeling.

Final Words I have driven 8000 plus kms. And I feel I made a smart choice. Having fun with it.  Given a choice I would go for it again. Those lookinf for a safe, stong car with elegance, they should go for skoda rapid. I drive mostly on highway so I needed a safe and strong car. Next was comfort and power, then features. Of course company's name too was important. Skoda Rapid was the only choice.

Areas of improvement Reverse parking camera/ sensors needed. Music system is ordinary. Needs improvement. Navigation lacking.

They should improve in after sale service. There are no service station in meerut and i have to travel 70 kms to the nearest service station. Cost of service is bit on higher side.

Strong, safe, fuel efficient. Dashing looks. Pick up superb.Reverse parking camera/sensors lacking,

Exterior Without talking about design, the body is strong, Sturdy, Not to mention the Strong Impact Friendly Bumpers, the Door handles are of low quality, and Wiper Blades are not premium at all, Tyre and Wheels should be upgraded during Purchase as the Stock Tyres dont give good grip on tight bends. Otherwise a Good looking Car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The Boot Hindge is the only Quality Comprimise, Poor Plastic quality around the C.Pillar and Rear Parcel Trey, tend to make noise. the Space for Rear Passanges is at a premium, though the transmission tunnel can become a problem for some passangers. The AC is adequate for Mumbai Heat (Start to End without Shutting off the Car for more than 5 mins) the rear vent is nothing to talk about, best controlled by shutting off the Air Vents on the Front Door sides so the Rear Passangers dont Sweat it out.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best gearbox out there Period, though for city driving the 1St. Gear is short but the 3rd Gear is Bliss. The Engine is what is the most likable in this car, does exactly what you need it to do. nothing but complimentes in this department. for Fuel Eco -  this is Competetion Average, Overall the Rapid is something you will Enjoy Driving rather than being driven.

Ride Quality & Handling Anything above 60 kilos is what the rear cannot handle well, the rear pull lowere to ground thus need to avoid high Speed and Bumpy roads. handeling is Top Notch, only betters by Ford Fiesta. the Rapid is a hoot to drive.

Final Words For someone who enjoys driving (short and long) this side of 10L, with good build Quality this is the car to cnsideer, As long as Skoda keeps the prices reasonable.

Areas of improvement Boot Hindge, Not worth more than 7 Lakhs for overall build quality.

Solid Build on the Outside, Quick and responsive, Handling, Hill ClimbSuspension, 1st Gear Ratio, Plastics, Reliability is a Question, 175 Profile Tyre on Lower Variant.
