Our recommendations
Which used Skoda Rapid hatchback should I buy?
If you can stretch to the post-facelifted car then our favourite engine is the 1.0 TSI 110, a lively and characterful unit that suits the Rapid well. On older cars we’d recommend the 1.2 TSI unit.
The problem with the Rapid’s trim levels is that none of them are especially well equipped, and on all of them a DAB radio and sat-nav are extra, so it’s worth sticking with moderately well equipped SE trim and trying to find a car on which the original owner has splashed out on those two items.
Our favourite Skoda Rapid: 1.0 TSI 110 SE
