I own skoda rapid elegance since 6 months, I love this car by features, look n milaeage in compare to any car in this segment but, I hate skoda's sales after service. I met accident 40 days ago and they took my car in service center.

They said me your car will be okay in 20 days and its already 40 days past. n still I didnt get my car and they say company has not available new door and they also dont know when door will be available in stock. Now I decided I will never buy any skoda's car in future.

Before I bought this car so many users told me that skoda's sales after service is so pathetic but I didnt listen to them n now I am suffering.

Guys after sales service is very very iportant to any car owner, so please dont avoid this when you buy any new car. I wishh I didnt buy this car now.

I am very very disappointment with this type of service. Please pray fro me that i will get my car as soon as possible. In future I will never buy any of the skoda car. Sales department are so pathetic in rajkot torquauto skoda. Guys please dont buy any skoda car in the future.

Style, mileage, lookAfter sales service

Clean and attractive exterior, small and compact grills makes an executive looks, Stupid idea for opeing bonnet as its lever in between the driver side door, you cannot open bonnet with out opning that door, very stupid design of driver side viper, you cannot raise it as it is touching the bonnet cover while washing the car. Very poor head lights and fog lamps, cannot go long drives in that lights.

Fair interiors and plastics, a very big dash board and lots of space infront of gear lever to keep small things, but ditto same vento. The seats are dust magnet and very poor back support, especially front co passenger seat is extremely uncomfrotable and looking for to change the seat. The steering tilt lever is placed with out the use of common sense, if you are 6foot or above it will be always touching your knees (It may cause for a serious injury to knees if met with an accident). Tilt and telescopic steering and seat height adujustments makes driving very comfortable.Electrically and remote adjustment of rear view mirror is good but electric folding is missing compare to verna fluidic.

A powerfull and reliable engine, but little more noisy than the other compitents in this segment, a tubo lag untill the engine reach 1200 RPM. Good mileage, poor braking for a car with 105 bhp power as it doest have a rear disc break gear shifting is smoot.

Very responsive steering, good control in a speed less than 80 kms, breaks are not sufficeint for  such a powerful vehicle. 

The vehicle is seems like engineered in a hurry burry to meet the market competency, cannot compare with the other Skoda vehicles, very poor sales and service, especially by St. Antonys motors Cochin, Their irresponsiblity and cheating starts soon after your booking amount has received, they will ask for an another minimum 25K in the name of price hike even after u have done all payments. The areas of improvements required are; Breaking, head lights, seats, steering tilt lever, sales and service support.

Exterior,interior, control. power, mileage and spaceSales & service,breaking,no seating comfort, poor head lamps

Exterior

The car looks stunning and is characteristic Skoda, Good Body Contours, Optinum size for city driving, good road grip, quality built

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Host of modern features like anti-pinch, fuel cut off during accident, one touch power windows, ample leg room (both front & rear seats), comfortable rear seats, good boot space, 360-degree tilt steering, good nagivation information like gear shift change, average fuel economy, etc.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

1600 CC powerful diesel engine, 105 ps / 250 Nm, excellent pick up, good city average of 16-18 KM/litre, responsive steering, no fatigue in long drive, fair ground clearance

Ride Quality & Handling

Very very comfortable and entire family likes it. I am recommending others to buy it

Final Words

Except a bit noisy engine (silent inside) and poor rear view (reverse camera should be a standard fitment) it is a value for money car

Areas of improvement  

 1. Improve rear view from inside as it become very difficult to reverse the car

 2. Rear parcel tray is slanting and hence cannot keep anything

 3. Engine noise should be reduced

 4. Ground clearance can be a bit enhanced
