Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives

Honda City

  • Premium and spacious interior
  • comfortable ride quality
  • sophisticated styling

Skoda Rapid

  • Build quality. Peppy and efficient turbo-petrol engine. New 6-speed torque converter has no power lag. Ride and handling.

Honda City

  • No turbo-petrol or diesel engine options
  • rivals like the Hyundai Verna offer more features

Skoda Rapid

  • Missing modern features. Transmission too eager for slow daily commutes and weak infotainment package.

Verna is offered in 1.4 ltr petrol, 1.6 ltr diesel and 1.6 ltr petrol engines . Rapid delivers 103 bhp power in petrol and 108 BHP power in diesel version . More or less all features Rapid has are available with Verna .If you have budget , Wish to enjoy pure European luxury and class , drive comfort . Choose Rapid . Choose Verna if prefer strong service network, overall low cost of ownership when compared to Skoda .Next gen venta a great styles and a mixed bag of excellent elections and design style .Diesel variant in Rapid is excellent where as all variants are a good choice in Verna . Looking to Economics and Verna is a better option which is a best over Rapid . Verna can be compared with Ciaz and City
  • I own a skoda Rapid since 2012. Rapid is the sturdiest and most powerful sedan around. Even after 7 years, the turbo works like magic and I can leave every other car behind looking like a bullock cart on highway if I wanted to. Seriously, I Love Rapid. My next car is going to be Skoda Kamiq! But I dount if my Rapid will age enough ever! So, Go for it!
  • I too owned skoda rapid 2 years ago and i have a same feeling as you have now. The car is fantastic and as you said i can leave every car behind like a bullock cart on the highway thats the speciality of this car😍 If im driving in a highway with rapid the other sedan looks like a peace of cake haha

  • Zero to minimum vibrations. Feel safe when inside the car, very good family carValue for moneyService cost is comparable to other similar carsI didn't find any issue with the after sales service yet. The service center calls me every year to remind me for the service, provides free pick up and drop service.Overall, the car was trouble free for the last five years and my family enjoys riding in it.

  • Design that brilliantly & elegantly ages, Performance that puts a grin on your face every time you floor the metal.Built like a tank, Which makes you feel safe doesn't matter even if you are driving at a high speed.Though have heard of aftersales issues from other owners on various portals but over the 6years of ownership, Never once had an issue either with the car or the service center.
