Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives

Skoda Rapid

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

Skoda Rapid

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

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. What is the difference between Volkswagen Polo diesel car and petrol car?
  • Diesel Car, Torque (pulling) Power is very high.,Petrol car Torque (pulling)Power is lower,But for City driving, that inital Pick-up is not Good in DIESEL Car.,Petrol Cars run @ very good Speed (pick-up) in City driving conditions.But Disel Car on the Highway Road is uncomparable Speed, Torque & Fuelefficiency.Diesel Car 22.05 Km/ Litre,Petrol. 17.5 Km onlyDiesel Car: Routine maintenance is little bit costly (But, because of more mileage that is not a problem) 👍
  • Diesel gives more mileage and in cost also it will be high.....petrol mileage will be 2-3kmpl low when compared to Diesel but performance will be superior than petrol...and latest tsi turbo engine is wonderful....
Q. I am confused between Tata Altroz XZ and Polo TSI Highline. This will be my first car and need car for family of 5 members. Feature wise Altroz is better but engine wise I like Polo. Please suggest which is better?
  • Both Volkswagen Polo and Tata Altroz are good premium hatches and offer a lot to their customers. However, as per your requirements, we'd suggest you to go with the Tata Altroz as the car offers practical and spacious cabin for a family of five. While the Altroz does not manage to set a new standard in the segment, it will fit right into the mix with a long feature list, sharp looks and a comfortable ride. On the other hand, if you value build, drive experience and ride over feature gimmicks and are willing to sacrifice on space, the Polo would be a good fit for you. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read More: - Tata Altroz 2019 Petrol & Diesel: First Drive - Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI: Road Test Review
  • Altroz were very calm and comfort engine and best build quality engine..on other hand polo were perfomace vehicle..decent space back only 2 menbes can sit comforble..bery strong build quality..hot hatchback..100 percent fun to drive
  • Thank You,Team
Q. I am planning to buy a car, I am confused on these two model, kindly suggest which one will suit me. I am not a regular user(less city travel), I used to travel only during weekends(long drive). VW Polo Highline Plus or Ford freestyle Titanium Plus.
  • For strictly city drives predominantly, I would go for Polo highline, but for mainly off road drives Ford freestyle will be my choice. Freestyle driving comfort is more, panoramic view is more, but after all Volkswagen is Volkswagen. I hope you understand.
  • Bro I am having VW Polo Highline plus. I am also a user like you so it suits you and the other thing i don't know about ford freestyle But VW polo highline plus is missile.

    Scoda rapid 

    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.
