Scoda Rapid! The next Big Thing

Exterior The car is solid build with smart classic looks. It has a very strong road presence and is surely a head turner. The large fog lamps complements to the main lights handsomely. The clear lines, shoulders and front grill are very catchy and looks smart. However rear is the main USP of the Car a distict Skoda with specific angular boot lid is a treat to eyes. Overall a very balanced design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Sad that Ergolever is only available in Top Varient. It is not so pricy and could have been made available in all varients. Having said that, the interiors are as solid build as exteriers. Gear Knob, Steering and Window buttons are intelligently design and really soothing to eyes. The cup holder, gove box and driver arm rest space is neat and usefull. Seats are really comfortable and reading lights provide a great feel to the car. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is powerful and revs up nice and proper. It has good ratio and feel at ease a low speeds with higher gear. Fuel economy was never Skoda USP, however this time it has improved marginally. Gear box is really smooth however gear knob could have been made little more light. 

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality. Specially at high speeds the car really grips to the road. ABS and EBD have been tuned well. The Car has a limited rear view but thanks to no center passenger head rest, it is not a problem area. 

Final Words  Skoda definetely come out with a winner, However they really need to tighten the  dealership network. The dealers are really sloppy and insensitive towards customers. No matter what the customer have in mind. He gets a raw deal by the dealors. 

Areas of improvement No body response to the Help line complaints. I had few issues of concern, called up five times to the help line however to no avail. Non responded. All thanks to good skoda feedback. Surely a big Thumbs Down.

Comfort is excellent. Road Grip, Mileage and Road Presence is State of the Art. Gives a Solid Feel.Definitely lacks the Omph Factor of Verna Fluidic and City. Steering Controls are really Missed.
