- 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
Q. Which variant of Skoda Rapid is best for buying?
- If you look at safety and most of the common features, the mid variant can save you some money. if you're fancy about more features, obviously the top variant. The basic variant also gives you the safety and basic comfort because Skoda is best for safety and basics everyone needs..
- Go for medium spec Ambition .. if you are professional in driving choose style
- One above the base i.e. mid one or its your preference

Rapid5.0Scoda rapid0
During last nine years my scoda rapid has covered 170000 kms and still going strong just last week we visited jaipur in a day and came back, Fuel consumption 18 to 24, Rapid has covered more then 900 kms many times in a day, Like visiting ghaziabad to bhopal, Ghaziabad to itawa and back, Etc, No major maintenance other then change of oil, Filters and tyres, Two front shock absorber changed, Ac condenser changed, Parts r reasonably cheap at dealer services station, Unfortunately diesel version has stopped other wise i will opt for scoda only.
