Skoda Rapid hatchback
reviewed by Carbuyer

The Skoda Rapid is a hatchback model with a huge boot designed to take on the Volkswagen Golf and the Ford Focus. It's a value car, so the interior quality and comfort aren’t entirely up to the standards offered in more expensive rivals, however, it has scored a full five stars for crash safety from Euro NCAP. Considering the entry price tag of £12,900, there really isn’t much else in this class that feels as well-rounded as the Rapid. It may not be the most exciting car in the world but it's certainly a fantastic family choice.
