Skoda Rapid [2014-2015] User Reviews

Exterior Decent exteriors; however not as good as some of the competitors; nowhere as good as the Europen Rapid/Octavia

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Decent Features list, safety - abs, 2 airbags, auto door lock plus hill start assist, space and comfort is good, beige interiors look spacious and premium

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The 1.5 105ps tdi engine + 7 speed DSG auto combo is a treat. the car runs super smooth, the engine has a superb mid range - there is a lot of power starting as low as 1500rpm. DSG ensures that you get the best of power + Fuel efficiency. however the engine is not rev happy and complains above 3000rpm. 

I do almost 85kms daily (gurgaon - noida - gurgaon) and the car gives me 15kmpl. on highways, typical avg is ~20 if driven at 100, ~18 if driven at 120. on one fine day under my strict test conditions, I clocked 27kmpl on a 40-km stretch as well!

Ride Quality & Handling The car has good ride in the city and superb control at high speeds. 

Final Words All in all a great buy. bargain for discounts at the dealer level and you will end up getting great value for your money! 

Areas of improvement NA.
