Thanks for a nice and balanced review. Earlier I owned Rapid diesel and now the 1.6 Petrol engine.

Rapid for the one who loves driving, The car immediately puts a smile on the face once that key is turned. I agree features can be important to some extent and the Verna comes loaded but I am not looking for a tech product here. Its a car and the idea is to enjoy the ride not the gadgets.

@@manoja538 yes correct if looks is your priority...if driving is then skoda. When I drive my eyes are on the road and not on the 10 inch screen and rest of the features most of the time. Anyway its subjective so you are right where you stand.
I am driving skoda Fabia since 2011, it is so good and satisfying. I drove also other cars, but no cars till date matches the quality of Fabia driving, features and comfort. Every year I see news cars are getting launched, but the quality is deteriorating. I also have hyundai i20, the suspension and braking are poor. If anyone looking for a balanced car, it is skoda.
@racer boii I had the Accent sold then moved to Fabia in 2010 and now i20 Active since 2017... Nothing beats a Skoda... Skoda felt solid. I am not getting the feel of driving in a Hyundai. The Hyundai is smooth and quick but not confidence inspiring. There's absolutely ZERO weight on the steering which maybe good for city ride but my driving is on the highway. Sometimes I felt like I fell into the "Equipment Trap" and took a wrong decision. On the other hand, Skoda has very limited service network. There's just 1 for the whole of Chennai; which should not be the case. Not that we'll need to to the service center very often but just to have peace of mind. If only they build a good network like the build if their cars... Also, the after sales experience wasn't that great with Skoda.
i own 2013 verna.. engine power is very good. bt my friends Skoda rapid is something different. feels rich Dont know why but it does and rides like dream.
Once you compare the after sales service and availability of parts of both the manufacturers , i wont even consider buying something like a skoda or a vw here in India. (Fun fact - my frnd’s skoda octavia’s windscreen replacement took 12 working days.) for me the comparison ends here. Having a gr8 product to brag about but flimsy after sales ntwk is a big deterrent. (The sales figures are a testimonial of the same)
Well said. A good, peace and reliable ownership experience is also very important. They (Skoda- VW) failed in that part. They are successful only in the markets where they provide a good ownership experience (A to Z). But they failed to do it in India. Also the rapid is going to celebrate 10 years in India, with almost same unchanged from the beginning.
Current generation in our country is indeed not easy to fool... They were trying to sell verna but people said Na to verna, thanks to no nonsense people who give preference to safety, build quality and handling over gimmicky features.
Im watching overdrive from last 9 years......now there is no.of youtubers related to automobiles, but no anyone of them can achieve overdrive like reviews and info presentation 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻
It is an understated fact that SKODA is still leading the game with almost 10 Yr old cars in each segment. It's such a shame for S. Korean and Japanese(I love japan) car brands that they are still loosing and just edging a lazy old competitor. Rapid - Verna Octavia - Civic- Corolla Superb - Camry SKODA❤️
I bought Skoda Rapid on 2021. Happy owner. It’s the most powerful car. Happy to see rapid supporting comments. You can blame anything. Same design no keyless or sunroof whatever but performance wise no other sedan can beat Rapid 🔥 According to me comparing Rapid with other cars itself a shitty one. Rapid is incomparable 🔥
Overdrive reviews are much better than others.. talking about things average buyer will care like plus size phone not fitting the wireless charging pad and things like weird placement of usb and android tablet that can install netflix..keep up the good work.
@dumpysharma Bilkul correct bro...yes rapid is vry gud product...bt Its rare to see people drive Rapid or Vento... The ones who are commenting in strong support of rapid are nt going to buy it either..insted they would buy VENUE , BALENO, I20 , NEXON ETC...bt not this....
@dumpysharma...u r correct..coz every SKODA or VW video out there..has the bst cmmnts u could ever come across..bt rarely there are people who would buy those...🤷🤷🤷..they say ciaz "tin can", verna"girly" ,city " overpriced"..bt these 3 are top sellers...🤷🤷🤷
INDIA, the only car market where 100bhp 4 door sedans are referred to as "enthusiasts car", "sporty car". And the funny thing is, the reviewers , despite saying all that, talk about everything else before they utter even a word about their engine performance. Shitty car market to be in honestly.
And the winner is Honda City! Smooth high revving 4 cylinder any day over 1.0 T. Having said that I will cross shop and will get Nissan Kicks 4 cylinder 1.3 Trubo.
Me lord point rested. Negotiate hard. Get a Rapid or Vento. Save lacs and invest in those long drives. Verna is good but it's a bummer to keep just one variant and that too with a price that's out of the park.
Afterall what matters is the ride & stubborn build quality. Fittings & equipments cant be the comparitive yardstick! Rapid is simply clever here frankly speaking!
overall rapid is better in terms of ride quality, no bump enter in the cabin, feels better insulated and safe, verna is no where near to vw tsi technology, and for vernas top end price better to go with a suv at that price, its just way too overpriced for a product which is just ok (average).
Why comparing Skoda Manual with Verna Auto... ? Disappointing Skoda Style costs you 16,00,000+ Interest if u take loan... u should not say it is cheap .... Ur opening statement shows which direction you are leading viewers to think... Over all review seems Hyundai Sponsored
Much awaited comparison. Very good review. #Hyundai should offered 1.4L Turbo in the Verna at least as an option. Cause #Verna and #Creta are the same B segment vehicle. Earlier they doing the same engine option in #Verna and #Creta. On the other hand #SkodaRapid is VFM sporty sedan.
Coming from a smartphone geek like me, The skoda is like the new iPhone se, while the Hyundai although flashy comes across like the regular OnePlus 8. The basics like longetivity, space and drivability favours the skoda although being less fancy. Verna is more of gimmick than actual basics done right.
When I had a Skoda, the car cost 17 lacs, and if I were to buy at least 40% of the cars spares, that cost me and equivalent 17 lacs. Is Sokda operating the same way in India now too?
I wouldn’t agree Rapid is great on price, build quality, comfort, high way stability, engine, quality & fit and finish are way ahead of the cheap build quality and fancy features of Verna.
Hey. How did the Verna win? The manufacturers intention for these sportier variants is quicker, fun to drive cars. And the rapid is a clear winner on that. If you are looking for comfort and convenience Verna diesel makes more sense than this slower petrol variant. And the Rapid is also cheaper in comparison...
None of the mentioned advantages of the Verna would justify buying a poorly driving Korean car at a high price compared to a german engineering marvel, a mechanical gem at a lower price. Only one maybe - resale value.
When u buy a car...you are paying for the overall package not only for the engine...so on that regard the verdict should be based on the overall score...so OD Verdict is justifiable... just because u like a car more doesn't mean it's the best🙂
Foolish thinking man , give importance to drive and travel comfort .features are supportive things for travel ..why you compromise comfort for features
@@manoja538 bro do you know anything about ride quality, driving dyanamics and suspension tuning. Burst the bubble man, even polo rides better than korean/japanese counterparts

@@bhanujchaudhary6969 This thing were people say verna sucks on high speed is an absolute myth. It started of way back when fluidic verna was released and some reviewers mentioned the steering is light. Ever since then the skoda nd vw fanboys have been belting on the same shit and keep degrading the verna. I own a vento TDI and there is only subtle difference in handling of both the vento nd verna. sure vento does feel more planted because of the speed sensitive steering but it is not a make or break deal. The difference is just about 10%. vw nd skoda was good a decade back but i wouldnt recommend to anyone buying that now. there is absolutely no difference from my 2013 model to the present 2020 model apart from the engine. Hyundai and honda on the other hand offer so much more heck even maruti offers so much. These people do not understand that the car is experience is a mix of both driving and comforts offered for the price we pay. And these are just 1.0 - 1.5l cars and people go berserk stating like these are GT cars with stuff like triple digit speeds and high speed stability. consumers aren't idiots to buy an old product when they can get the latest technology at the same price from another brand. Fanboys comment on verna/city is BS and vw/skoda is amazing is not gonna hurt the former sales and people will keep making the sensible choice. they think that their half-knowledge is better than companies investing millions in R&D before releasing a product.
Jo features Verna de rahi thhi 13lakhs mein 2years ago with 1.6 petrol no other manufacturer were offering those at 20 lakhs And now new Verna costs 16lakhs u also getting tons of features too Don't forget that
Verna is loaded and thus can be a choice for a city slicker.. Rapid makes superb sense if one had to pick the Rider variant.. I think Rapid Rider is the most VFM car today, Period! For 16.5 lacs on road, going purely by bang for buck theory, Nissan Kicks 1.3 Turbo Premium is superb car... Not only is it a larger car/suv.. But has a four cylinder meaty motor, good good ride and handling and steering feel and is a truly global product! BS6 is a blessing in disguise.. Correction : All pollution and safety norms implemented post 2000 have been! Euro 2 single handedly killed carburetors in cars.. Bs6 have finally done that for two wheelers.. No thanks to corrupt Government for not implementing it earlier per road map set up loooooong time back.
@@kiranm9518 I'm sure they are.. I have sold VW cars and have seldom come across a 'bad' feeling used Polo, Vento or Rapid or Fabia for that matter.. The way these cars hold themselves over a period of time is commendable.. No rattles, shaky body panels, well bonded interiors etc.. VW and Skoda make some of the most sorted cars in India.. Skoda does it better by tuning engines well.. Too bad the management of both these companies let the products down.. The overall comfort is actually much better than what Japs, Koreans or Indian manufacturers have to offer.. Polo with cramped rear space still has back seats which are actually very comfortable if not spacious.. Spending time in VW group product is indeed a nice experience.
Agree with verdict. Considering all the aspects Verna is a better car here. Regarding the Rapid, if I am in the market for a decade old car for 10L, I would prefer a used Octavia 1.8 TSI.😛

@@NishantSharma-cv9ww 5000 is cheap dude. I have a vento thats 10 years old now.. I got her serviced last month. 12000 on service. I got her lights replaced as they were getting yellow. 8000. Engine mount was makimg noise.. 3000.
V belt bearing.. 5000..
Total put together it cost me 27000.. And now her brake discs are due that will cost a whopping 18000 also..
😅 welcome to Germany. But i dont regret a bit of it.
@@akashmengi7731 it is costly also it costs 14-15 lakhs and ur car is 10 yrs old also that's why it is costing u more because wear tear parts are costly of car it also a major factor. and ur car is out of warranty now this is big problem
Total comment supporting Skoda rapid ... And Verna price 3 lakh more than rapid . Then why choose Verna go with RAPID, I will rest drive rapid soon
u need to read service manual carefully otherwise u will face very inflation in bills which will not be justified at all because in India service are managed by Indian dealers they try to make fool of customer this is because of so much hype of skoda created in India make sure that which part will change at how much kilometre and negotiate with service centre u will not make stand then then will charge u excessive
Foolishness ...This is above 14 lakh category cars above average people only buy if you think silly like service cost go with maruthi, Skoda performance and comfort given by this German technology it need some sevice cost ....
Rapid for the one who loves driving, The car immediately puts a smile on the face once that key is turned. I agree features can be important to some extent and the Verna comes loaded but I am not looking for a tech product here. Its a car and the idea is to enjoy the ride not the gadgets.
Rapid any day over verna ..😃
Now Indian people understand that and rapid's sales increasing
Rapid is a class 😍 Simply Clever
ya i will choose only 2 sedan honda coty or skoda and suv of my choice is sonet
why bro??? i guess verna looks a bit more premium
@@lonepiggy7709 Skoda hava a class a German class Quality fit and finish
Funny to c verna having better drivability than a rapid.. .?got it wrong man..
Rapid is thrilling driving experience...we will addicted
Joke vena drive nothing infront of rapid's.. rapid gives driving pleasure
Joke of the year verna having better drivability than skoda.
You guys don't know the definition of drivability!! Clearly seen😂
You guys should have waited for the Rapid AT to arrive.Then it'll be a really interesting comparison
I think its better to go Skoda Rapid ... bcs of pricing almost 6 lakhs is the price difference... You can fit every extras less than 1 lakh ... as aftermarket accesories.... so... almost we can save around 5 lakhs... Go for Rapid rider varient... fit all the xtra accesories aftermarket.... Then enjoy the drive... Actually.... use the saved 5 lakhs on petrol... you can roughly drive around 80000 kms... LOL... Always A skoda is Skoda and Hyundai is Hyundai.... example compare i Phone vs Redmi ...
Perfect....Your logic of Buying a Rapid rider and upgrading with orignal accessories makes great sense.....👍👍
Wat abt the service cost bro?
Plzzz let me knwwww
@@harryronal7651 actually Skoda cars are serviced in the interval of 15000 kms... and actually it costs around 11000 to 13000 for 15000 kms.... costs around 85 paise per km brother....
@@harryronal7651 no big deal for the service.... both costs more or less the same... Its just the segment decides the service cost.... when you are in mid size sedan your service will be also in mid size budget.... one extra advantage of skoda is ... we can expect quality products in skoda comparing Hyundai... already i mentioned....
always a skoda is skoda and hyundai is hyundai
I can get all the new features on verna aftermarket and put it on the base variant of rapid and still be cheaper than the hyundai. Skoda got the basics right here if driving is concerned!
The skoda's looks like that malnourished kid in every school...the price hyundai demands I'd justifiable as the after sales service it provides and there is never a short coming of spare parts
High quality product is Skoda compare low price ..Skoda ultimate winner
@@manoja538 yes correct if looks is your priority...if driving is then skoda. When I drive my eyes are on the road and not on the 10 inch screen and rest of the features most of the time. Anyway its subjective so you are right where you stand.
Stop comparing legends(Skoda,vw) with today's tin cans🤣🤣🤣🤣
Verna is no tin can though.
@@ishkaranbrar313 its not a tin can, but it is boat by steering
@@anshhmehta rubber boat 😂
I am driving skoda Fabia since 2011, it is so good and satisfying. I drove also other cars, but no cars till date matches the quality of Fabia driving, features and comfort. Every year I see news cars are getting launched, but the quality is deteriorating. I also have hyundai i20, the suspension and braking are poor.
If anyone looking for a balanced car, it is skoda.
@racer boii I had the Accent sold then moved to Fabia in 2010 and now i20 Active since 2017... Nothing beats a Skoda... Skoda felt solid. I am not getting the feel of driving in a Hyundai. The Hyundai is smooth and quick but not confidence inspiring. There's absolutely ZERO weight on the steering which maybe good for city ride but my driving is on the highway. Sometimes I felt like I fell into the "Equipment Trap" and took a wrong decision.
On the other hand, Skoda has very limited service network. There's just 1 for the whole of Chennai; which should not be the case. Not that we'll need to to the service center very often but just to have peace of mind. If only they build a good network like the build if their cars... Also, the after sales experience wasn't that great with Skoda.
Hyundai only features not good build quality and artificial engineering
Skoda built like tank great to drive. I prefer rapid over verna
i own 2013 verna.. engine power is very good.
bt my friends Skoda rapid is something different. feels rich Dont know why but it does and rides like dream.
Oho My dear Hyundai salesman...
Skoda rapid is always best
Don't buy Hyundai cars
Poor performance
Poor stability
Poor design
Poor pick up
I guess you haven't seen older Verna 1.6D pickup.
Design good but other all very low compare to rapid
Once you compare the after sales service and availability of parts of both the manufacturers , i wont even consider buying something like a skoda or a vw here in India. (Fun fact - my frnd’s skoda octavia’s windscreen replacement took 12 working days.) for me the comparison ends here. Having a gr8 product to brag about but flimsy after sales ntwk is a big deterrent. (The sales figures are a testimonial of the same)
Well said. A good, peace and reliable ownership experience is also very important. They (Skoda- VW) failed in that part. They are successful only in the markets where they provide a good ownership experience (A to Z). But they failed to do it in India.
Also the rapid is going to celebrate 10 years in India, with almost same unchanged from the beginning.
Actually German cars are much less reliable than asian cars..... Talking about the report released UK's matt watson (carwow)
Current generation in our country is indeed not easy to fool... They were trying to sell verna but people said Na to verna, thanks to no nonsense people who give preference to safety, build quality and handling over gimmicky features.
Just a music player with Bluetooth is enough as a feature .. build quality and stability is more important .. yes booked Skoda rapid rider plus.
Just love the climax entry introduction of Honda City with rocking background music 🥰
Im watching overdrive from last 9 years......now there is no.of youtubers related to automobiles, but no anyone of them can achieve overdrive like reviews and info presentation 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Only Powerdrift can🔥💯💯
Thank you 🙏🏼
More rapid lovers on internet than roads hardly seen any skoda rapid monte carlo in my town
9:12 we can see the winner
Wagon R overtakes Verna
It is an understated fact that SKODA is still leading the game with almost 10 Yr old cars in each segment.
It's such a shame for S. Korean and Japanese(I love japan) car brands that they are still loosing and just edging a lazy old competitor.
Rapid - Verna
Octavia - Civic- Corolla
Superb - Camry
SKODA❤️
This channel deserves a lot more subscribers than it currently has. The way he explains is so good!!!!
Look his expression while driving rapid , pleasure feel. 5.15 minutes
True. Which is why I said, if you are an enthusiast buy the Rapid already
Bustard
Currect feel changing by tubo kick super
Same feeling when I drive rapid after driving city and verna. After that booked rapid ambition
Vento tsi still beats all of them though a little expensive .Superb built quality only Skoda can be compared to
I bought Skoda Rapid on 2021. Happy owner. It’s the most powerful car. Happy to see rapid supporting comments. You can blame anything. Same design no keyless or sunroof whatever but performance wise no other sedan can beat Rapid 🔥 According to me comparing Rapid with other cars itself a shitty one. Rapid is incomparable 🔥
Overdrive reviews are much better than others.. talking about things average buyer will care like plus size phone not fitting the wireless charging pad and things like weird placement of usb and android tablet that can install netflix..keep up the good work.
Indian driving "enthusiast": Features batao features, engine gaya ma chudane! Chutiye 😂
Ultimate joke man
bahut badiyaa,
faltu reviews deke badkaane mea lage hue hai.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 very true
If all are with rapid here then tell me why ths sale status of it is so low in india??!
Becoz Skoda dont pay for these influencers
@@rokadeashish129 no they do
@dumpysharma Bilkul correct bro...yes rapid is vry gud product...bt Its rare to see people drive Rapid or Vento... The ones who are commenting in strong support of rapid are nt going to buy it either..insted they would buy VENUE , BALENO, I20 , NEXON ETC...bt not this....
@@anuragkumar-fm7hc yes they may have a ulterior motive to induce other people to buy skoda when they themselves are goin for other brands.
@dumpysharma...u r correct..coz every SKODA or VW video out there..has the bst cmmnts u could ever come across..bt rarely there are people who would buy those...🤷🤷🤷..they say ciaz "tin can", verna"girly" ,city " overpriced"..bt these 3 are top sellers...🤷🤷🤷
What sense it makes to compare an automatic car with manual!.. no point comparing these 2 models really..
3:01 Apple fan boi flexxxxx 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Dead 🤣🔥🤣🔥
INDIA, the only car market where 100bhp 4 door sedans are referred to as "enthusiasts car", "sporty car". And the funny thing is, the reviewers , despite saying all that, talk about everything else before they utter even a word about their engine performance.
Shitty car market to be in honestly.
Rapid class superclass and skoda is powerful car💪💪😃
Please move over your majesty!!
And the winner is Honda City! Smooth high revving 4 cylinder any day over 1.0 T. Having said that I will cross shop and will get Nissan Kicks 4 cylinder 1.3 Trubo.
just wait for the rapid's facelift for 2021
Verna is ok
Skoda v good car😍
Me lord point rested. Negotiate hard. Get a Rapid or Vento. Save lacs and invest in those long drives. Verna is good but it's a bummer to keep just one variant and that too with a price that's out of the park.
What safe is a car if it is bumpy @ high speeds even though it has 6 airbags
Afterall what matters is the ride & stubborn build quality. Fittings & equipments cant be the comparitive yardstick! Rapid is simply clever here frankly speaking!
everyone here is telling rapid rapid...but sales data shows verna at far higher rate than rapid
Rapid is great
overall rapid is better in terms of ride quality, no bump enter in the cabin, feels better insulated and safe, verna is no where near to vw tsi technology, and for vernas top end price better to go with a suv at that price, its just way too overpriced for a product which is just ok (average).
Why comparing Skoda Manual with Verna Auto... ? Disappointing
Skoda Style costs you 16,00,000+ Interest if u take loan... u should not say it is cheap ....
Ur opening statement shows which direction you are leading viewers to think...
Over all review seems Hyundai Sponsored
Well hyundai doesn't need to sponsor anyone it has enough sales figures everymonth unlike the skoda...looks more like skoda sponsored 😅
@Hari Ram what kind of analogy is that😂....it's nice to hear but it's not practical😁
Kudos just for the audio quality!!!!!
9:14 anyone noticed WagonR overtaking verna 1.0 turbo :D LOL. I'm going for Rapid lol
They are shooting so have to maintain certain speed... Don't talk like an idiot bro
@@krishnaprasanth7086 no more diesels
Rip logic
Tsi vs t gdi... This is what we want..
Rapid AT will destroy Verna AT. Rapid>Verna anyday. No comparison
Videos quality ans voice sound is awesome keep it bro!
Much awaited comparison. Very good review. #Hyundai should offered 1.4L Turbo in the Verna at least as an option. Cause #Verna and #Creta are the same B segment vehicle. Earlier they doing the same engine option in #Verna and #Creta. On the other hand #SkodaRapid is VFM sporty sedan.
Rear disc or drum does not effect braking time. Rear brake is connected to handbrake.
Rapid interior looks a decade old
💯 yes, But exterior look is still fire🔥
Coming from a smartphone geek like me, The skoda is like the new iPhone se, while the Hyundai although flashy comes across like the regular OnePlus 8. The basics like longetivity, space and drivability favours the skoda although being less fancy. Verna is more of gimmick than actual basics done right.
Better review than other automotive channels really liked ur comparison with other cars really appreciated 😊😊😊😊
When I had a Skoda, the car cost 17 lacs, and if I were to buy at least 40% of the cars spares, that cost me and equivalent 17 lacs. Is Sokda operating the same way in India now too?
I wouldn’t agree Rapid is great on price, build quality, comfort, high way stability, engine, quality & fit and finish are way ahead of the cheap build quality and fancy features of Verna.
Back design have to be changed of rapid.
It's likes apples vs oranges
A Hyundai can never compete European car on road, except or service center floors
Hey. How did the Verna win? The manufacturers intention for these sportier variants is quicker, fun to drive cars. And the rapid is a clear winner on that. If you are looking for comfort and convenience Verna diesel makes more sense than this slower petrol variant. And the Rapid is also cheaper in comparison...
Great looking car is skoda
Please review the new kicks 1.3 turbo
Skoda rapid is best car
None of the mentioned advantages of the Verna would justify buying a poorly driving Korean car at a high price compared to a german engineering marvel, a mechanical gem at a lower price. Only one maybe - resale value.
We know it's gonna be verna as a winner. This is overdrive, what do u expect. Cause it has wireless charging, connected car tech and that sunroof 😂
When u buy a car...you are paying for the overall package not only for the engine...so on that regard the verdict should be based on the overall score...so OD Verdict is justifiable... just because u like a car more doesn't mean it's the best🙂
Foolish thinking man , give importance to drive and travel comfort .features are supportive things for travel ..why you compromise comfort for features
@@mexicom243 comfort ? Rapid? Please wake up from your sleep buddy 😂
@@manoja538 bro do you know anything about ride quality, driving dyanamics and suspension tuning. Burst the bubble man, even polo rides better than korean/japanese counterparts
@@parthoomphy7214 😂😂😂...polo?
Very simple:
Verna is overloaded with features
Rapid built is awesome disappointed with lack of features
But rapid 4 lakh less than verna
Base model rapid or top model city
Rapid in comment section and Verna in sales chart😂.
paint quality is enough to tell which one is better
Lol seriously?
Its basically only a hype...
Rapid rider...rapid Monte Carlo.....Nothing else
Skoda is making indians bigg fool.. offering 10 yrs old car..with only new engine
Rivals like verna,city are offering much better than this
Now Blind Skoda fans will come and say"look at the feel of driving,built quality and steering control"
Me:Aa ji ghanta
I have to say to this blind skoda fans:Have u driven City,verna??
Without driving u cant say this sitting at home okkk!!!!
Verna, city also have very good built quality and drive feel..
@@bhanujchaudhary6969 i think u are one of those who go for features ... & moreover i know what verna is capable of ..on high speeds its steering sucks!
u need to drive rapid on high speed than compare it with koreans & japanese ..if you really know what driving is..rather than just putting shoes on race pedal !
@@pankaz22 yo nailed it bro
Of course verna💯
@@bhanujchaudhary6969 This thing were people say verna sucks on high speed is an absolute myth. It started of way back when fluidic verna was released and some reviewers mentioned the steering is light. Ever since then the skoda nd vw fanboys have been belting on the same shit and keep degrading the verna. I own a vento TDI and there is only subtle difference in handling of both the vento nd verna. sure vento does feel more planted because of the speed sensitive steering but it is not a make or break deal. The difference is just about 10%. vw nd skoda was good a decade back but i wouldnt recommend to anyone buying that now. there is absolutely no difference from my 2013 model to the present 2020 model apart from the engine. Hyundai and honda on the other hand offer so much more heck even maruti offers so much. These people do not understand that the car is experience is a mix of both driving and comforts offered for the price we pay. And these are just 1.0 - 1.5l cars and people go berserk stating like these are GT cars with stuff like triple digit speeds and high speed stability. consumers aren't idiots to buy an old product when they can get the latest technology at the same price from another brand. Fanboys comment on verna/city is BS and vw/skoda is amazing is not gonna hurt the former sales and people will keep making the sensible choice. they think that their half-knowledge is better than companies investing millions in R&D before releasing a product.
How are the paddle shifters on the verna? Do they offer added performance or are they more of a gimmick?
Manufacturers Making fool indian buyers with smaller engines oh verna really 16 lac
If we buy this Verna by 16 lakh, just 2 yr later Hyundai come with new Verna then it will be old ...and buyer oops .I choose rapid sure
1.6 diesel was also never so pricey.
Full loot rahey hai......
Jo features Verna de rahi thhi 13lakhs mein 2years ago with 1.6 petrol no other manufacturer were offering those at 20 lakhs
And now new Verna costs 16lakhs u also getting tons of features too
Don't forget that
@@mexicom243 yeah
What will your big engines do
Hmm.. nowadays all manufacturers started giving 3 cylinders engines with work around, but costly 🙄
Verna is loaded and thus can be a choice for a city slicker..
Rapid makes superb sense if one had to pick the Rider variant.. I think Rapid Rider is the most VFM car today, Period!
For 16.5 lacs on road, going purely by bang for buck theory, Nissan Kicks 1.3 Turbo Premium is superb car... Not only is it a larger car/suv.. But has a four cylinder meaty motor, good good ride and handling and steering feel and is a truly global product!
BS6 is a blessing in disguise.. Correction : All pollution and safety norms implemented post 2000 have been! Euro 2 single handedly killed carburetors in cars..
Bs6 have finally done that for two wheelers.. No thanks to corrupt Government for not implementing it earlier per road map set up loooooong time back.
Completely satisfied reviews we can see from rapid customers.. so I think it is a good car
@@kiranm9518 I'm sure they are.. I have sold VW cars and have seldom come across a 'bad' feeling used Polo, Vento or Rapid or Fabia for that matter.. The way these cars hold themselves over a period of time is commendable.. No rattles, shaky body panels, well bonded interiors etc.. VW and Skoda make some of the most sorted cars in India.. Skoda does it better by tuning engines well.. Too bad the management of both these companies let the products down.. The overall comfort is actually much better than what Japs, Koreans or Indian manufacturers have to offer.. Polo with cramped rear space still has back seats which are actually very comfortable if not spacious.. Spending time in VW group product is indeed a nice experience.
Rapid anytime over verna.
5:10 I have a MK1 Octavia RS and it does 0-100 in 7.5 secs.
They’re not in the same category!
Please check your facts mate!
Agree with verdict. Considering all the aspects Verna is a better car here. Regarding the Rapid, if I am in the market for a decade old car for 10L, I would prefer a used Octavia 1.8 TSI.😛
