Dear Friends,
I am planning to buy a Skoda Rapid Elegance Petrol Automatic Transmission. If anyone owns this vehicle can you share your feedback?
Car experts any views if I am making the right choice?
Any inputs are welcome...thanks.
Rapid is a good car but only in Diesel form and not in Petrol form, I have hardly seen Petrol Rapid's (MT & AT). Also resale might not be good as City. Try the Scala AT as it more efficient then Manual. If you like Fiesta it is another good option.
