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.

Here are out first impressions of the new Citroen Basalt.

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.
