What you'll like:• A well-built European car• Better package than the Vento at a lower, VFM price• Superb diesel engine; good driveability and 250 Nm of torque• Mature ride & handling setup• Confidence inspiring dynamics, brakes and chassis• Easy to drive Automatic transmission. Different modes to suit your style of drivingWhat you won't:• Skoda's scary after-sales-service• Not as feature laden as the competition (No steering mounted controls, USB stereo, parking sensors etc.)• Sluggish "D" mode of the Automatic gearbox. Also, no Automatic option for the diesel engine• Petrol engine isn't as impressive as the diesel• Tall rear floor hump makes the Rapid more suited as a 4 seater, than 5
