Thanks for all your advice and help but i have turned to the Rapid side. Pick her up Thus/Fri

Always had Fabias so i might miss the small but big car

Looks nice . I do like them!

Especially the sunroof. Dad had that in a golf, it makes the car soo much brighter inside.

I bet your excited!

Miss the small but big car, I thought they were almost the same size?

 

The big glass roof does look nice.

They look pretty similar inside iirc

Maybe the roof is lower? Makes it feel smaller?

Just checked the Spaceback is 30cm longer than a Fabia hatch and about 10cm longer than a Fabia estate.

And 6cm wider.

Is it lower?

Looked at the Rapid Sport limited edition but £15500 was way too much.

Looked at the Toledo SE as well which was £3000 cheaper even with the 17" alloys but decided to stick with the Monte for at least another year when the Fabia Mk3 will have been out a while.

The Rapid Spaceback looks really nice though especially the one in the pictures

Is it lower?

 

Not sure about the roofline, Mine didn't feel any lower inside.

It has the typical huge arch gaps too.

My mate sat in the back and with the seats in the same position as my fabia his knees were about 20cm away in the fabia they were touching. when you a sat in it it is huge and very bright!!!!  :sun:

I like the look of these on the outside and that sunroof is great. Shame the wheels look so tiny tho... I'd be looking at putting some bigger rims on.

I hope when the the Fabia Mk2 replacement arrives, (the Skoda Maybia) it does not replicate the drivers Seating Position in the Rapid, or the sills, footwell.

The Rapid Spaceback was not a comfortable car for me when i drove one.

& neither really Rapid or with Space in the Back.

 

I do like how they look.

 

The new 2015 Skoda Maybia Estate (Combi) will hopefully bring something with carrying capacity without being too large externally.
