:biggrin:Rapid's front look was always addictive , and the ' simply clever solutions are really nice toppings on on my favorite car in that price bracket and with 250 nm at its disposal it should raise like a Tornado.
It's going to be serious threat to Altis -D if ASS is improved.

@Dezire , please elaborate on ' rough road package.'

@peter , if ASS is good in Goa , then it's going to be most VFM buy in this price bracket. I don't find any other comparable car with it .VW vento lags behind it due to the bland looks on Indian roads.BTW, which color ?

Coming from a Hyundai background, please do consider the cost and quality of after sales services from Skoda before signing on the dotted lines[:)]
+1 & for this reason a guy in our society over a month ago purchased Elantra SX Automatic rather than Skoda Laura.

I have experienced the Hyundai ASS. IMO much much better than Maruti. No issues with reliability too. Hyundai's just go on and on only demanding a routine service.

So far no so called "horror stories" in Goa. Wife wants white.

And sacrificed handling. Otherwise the Elantra is an excellent car.

Also do note that the spares cost of Rapid is far expensive than it's rival's, and timely availability of spares could also be a challenging issue.
