ஸ்கோடா ரேபிட் [2011-2014] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior Sporty exterior as compared to Vento. Only issue is the wiper on the driver side which can not be folded.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good color combination. lacs USB port in music system provided therefore buying a top end model does nt make a point rather a good music system can be put from outside by buying an Ambition varient which does not carry inbuild music system. Specious interior. Features like rear AC vents and hand rests are good. Lacs door locking from inside.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Just superb. No other word.

Ride Quality & Handling Superb on long rides. suspension is hard on short drives.

Final Words Go for the vehicle guys. But please please think before you buy it from Asset Auto - Pune. The service is real bad or I would say its pathetic. I am happy that I bought this vehicle but regret that I bought it from Asset Auto Bhandarkar Road.

Areas of improvement Internal door lock. wiper folding. Engine noise.

Exterior Good, back lights can be improved.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) More leg space in the back, camera not there.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good but spare parts very costly.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words I have booked car Skoda rapid ambition on 19th Sep12 and assured to get delivered by 10th Oct12 but surprisingly Senator-authorized dealer told on 8th Oct12 (after 20days) that your car is not alloted and their sales manager assisting to go for Higher model which don't have any specific relevant features and cost difference is 70000. It seems that they are squeezing their customers pocket and trying to sale their new models even after ordering.Commitment and delivery situation is pathetic. They dont stick to their words what they have committed at the time of booking.

Areas of improvement Customer relationship and after sales service is very bad. After booking customer have to follow every now and than.

Exterior Very good and elegance and contemprary style, european car looking.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Satisfactory interior.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Mileage is a worry.

Ride Quality & Handling Good and having one of the best in class chassis.

Final Words Once should not buy any brand by looking at the price tag and outer look. After sale service is very important. Cheaply avaialable spare and customer care is very important to me.

Areas of improvement Supply chain, sales and service outtlook. Last year i purchased my Fluidic verna on august month. this is my first sedan car, I did many research and done all test drive everything. I drove, VW vento, Rapid, SX-4, verna and Honda City. But, there were a tight call between VW vento, City and new verna. But, i chosen to stick with verna for simple reason for supply chain, average cost of spare parts, and good service after sales. Before i buy, i knew that VW vento and Rapid had a edge over the verna on a performance and ride quality. By exterior and interior with the features verna had a overwhelming advantages. ride quality of verna at higher speed is give out the feel of jerky beyond 150Km/Hr+, at below 150Km/Hr no issues.After 6 months I had a Rat bitten at my vehicle, as soon as I wnt they fixed within 2 hours. Very next week I had a same rat brtten on A/C wire and A/C was not working. Again I went they fixed within half and hour and they did not charge me anything. Alos, one time I had done with 3rd service, I was not happy with the interior cleaning. I lodge a complaint, one person came from hundai service and he fixed everything at my home visit. They delight the customer with the service. Please think before you but about the service , spares cost and support for any brand. Because, these same reason Fiat failed in india despite theay are having decent car. I am not asking you to buy the hyundai car, buy the car where you have good after service after sales.

Exterior Looks are manly and sturdy yet attractive. Head lights look pretty awesome. If u have alloy wheels then u have everything in the car which can attract anyone's attention.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) As usual Skoda comes in with class european flat interface which has almost every feature on it with ease of access. Its very comfortable for every human physic sitting in front or back seat. It is covered with almost all features available today in its segment of cars, if not then there is always a higher version available.   

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is as smooth as butter. No noise even at high speed of 150+ kms / hr. No vibration. The torque which skoda specifies is true to my knowledge because my car pick from speed of 15 - 70 in 3rd gear. Fuel economy on highway which i got so far is approx 20 and in city it is around 14 which is awesome in sedan with 1.6 ltr engine. Gearbox is extremetly smooth. 

Ride Quality & Handling  When u drive the car u will realise the class of skoda and its power. Handling is extremely smooth and easy even at the speed of 100.

Final Words  Skoda has done its best to launch the best car in its segment.

Areas of improvement

1) Steering mounted controls to sustain competition.

2) Instead of 1 rear fog lamp there should be 2, which is very small thing to be done. 

3) some very basic accessories should be provided with car itself, instead buying it for extra cost.
