skoda rapid diesel: power pack

Exterior

smart design. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

over all very good but the front arm rest could have been sturdier. also the positioning of the rear view mirror should be canged for better visibility. Rear view camera and steering mounted controls are must and should be included as they are in Vento. Boot space even though little less than vento has good design and can accomodate loads of luggage specially if you are going on the ong drives. The rear seats could have been collapsible.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Amazing pick up. could drive at 150 without and measurable vibrations and shakiness. wind flow well controlled. Gear shift smooth. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 very good. Braking on undulated ground shaky.

Final Words

 good value for money of course with a discount of 10% on ex-showroom

Areas of improvement  

 LED head lamps, horn very hard to press, fuel average and distance to empty being now provided even tata and maruti. fuel tank lid shoud be on left as per general norms.

 

pick up, ground clearance, mileage, styleNo steering mounted controls, door lock very complicated.
