After 7 years of companionship with Skoda Rapid, I could not think of any other option other than the German technology while buying a new car.
I bought the Highline MT
Smooth like anything
I was having 1.6 L Rapid and switching to 1.0 L engine seemed to be a big downgrade. But honestly I didn't feel much difference when it comes to riding comfort.
Am least bothered about mileage and won't compromise riding comfort for that. But am getting 11 for tight city traffic and around 15 for long drives.
