Rapid Spaceback Review

[GTWaites]

Just read this from Chris Evans. Not sure what to think of his review....

Morrisons make good cakes 

 

Although the Spaceback doesn't come with LED rear lamps does it? 

[GTWaites]

I'm guessing that the Elegance models do.

Also the drink is quite cheap in Morrisons!

He's spot on about the voice activation thing. On my 24 hour test drive that woman was a low level, but significant irritation, forever banging on about the phone not being connected every time I got in.......

thats not a car review, it's just space filler that the author probably got paid far too much to write.

I'd actually find that quite useful, I often forget to pick my phone up when leaving work :( As it is, my Rapid only wants to interrupt my music to tell me that the phone is connected (which is the kind of thing you quickly learn to ignore to the point of not realising it didn't do it when you do forget your phone).

So a Skoda is a Skoda is a Skoda, much the same as Chris Evans is Chris Evans, a bit of a Knob if you ask me !! Why get someone who is never going to buy a particular type of car to test drive it?,may as well ask a vegan to review a steakhouse !!

Jermey Clarkson style review - ie. 50% unrelated claptrap and the rest about the car.

 

He seems to quite like it though, first time I've seen anyone say the car is cheaper than he thought it should be!

 

A couple of points:

 

- Rear lights are not LED but I can see why he would think they are

- His main criticm seems to be the "unneccesary options" which is a bit weird. They're options! You don't have to have them...

I had the same thought, what he seems to be saying is "this is an alright car, but.... it's a Skoda, so I'm not allowed to actually like it".

like I said Chris Evans= KNOB !!

I have to agree with you Toon. I tried to listen to him after Moyles left radio 1, but could only bear 15 minutes of him.

I don't think his review is a one I can base on. Must admit I am looking into getting a Spaceback, but the Rapid Connect looks great value for money

Indeed. I wouldn't trust a word in a paper that thinks it's acceptable to fraudulently obtain help from a food bank for a 'story', amongst other appalling behaviour.

Quite an amusing report of a friend taking on the DM when they used one of his video clips without permission...

That is an absolutely fantastic read - nice one to your friend Gaz and his success at taking on this evil paper and it's sleazy website.

I like the spaceback, if they did a 130 bhp+ version i would replace my wifes A3....

The difference is Clarkson's unrelated claptrap is usually funny.
