What's not to like Super car for the task in hand.

"Strange" for a learner car i.e. DSG,does that mean if they pass driving test in it they can only drive "autos"?

Yep! There's a growing market (and a price premium!)

I'd forgotten about it being a DSG,  even better! BTW you know who I am, 1'6 Rio Red DSG, welcome to the DSG club.

[RapidPaul]

Nice! I quite fancy a green one, but the Mrs would never let me!

Ha! Got you! See you 3 weeks Wed? 

[Tom_vRS]

I kind of wish I'd gone for a DSG. I've always insisted on a manual as I've always been a bit of a sporty driver, but I seem to drive my Rapid like a nun. Oh well. Enjoy it!

Loving the number plate!

 

Have you added the xenon headlights too? (projector lens and headlight washer system)?

Thank you! The plate was bought at about the time the Rapid was announced and I decided I would have one, one day. I was busy buying the Fab at the time.

Yes, it's got the HIDs and washers. All the toys! Well, most of 'em.

I didn't know you could get a high spec petrol DSG these days.  I thought it was SE or nothing?

It is an SE, but the options list took a thorough battering. I'll not go into further detail...

[camelspyyder]

That sounds like you may have the most expensive Rapid in the country

[SytekSam]

[RickTT]

Nice one! it does look nice that does !

 

I want to hear the options list !!

[Tom_vRS]

I don't think the 1.4 is available in the Rapid any more too, shame.

[camelspyyder]

Skoda Uk still have it on the SE on the configurator.

SEAT Uk have stopped selling it in the Toledo.

[Matt_West_Mids]

Car looks rather nice in green. :clap:

[James@RRG_Skoda_Rochdale]

A great looking car!

Did you get your spare key back for the fabia off Craig Stephen?

Hiya, James, yes, yes I did, thanks. Not quite as flippy as it was but it'll suffice.

The car is truly awesome. Really well put together, not a rattle, not a buzz, nothing: it has that hewn-from-granite feeling. Total delight to drive. The kids love it - and that's the main thing!

[SytekSam]

I don't think the 1.4 is available in the Rapid any more too, shame.

The newly reworked 1.4 125PS TSI is definitely still available! Only on the SE though, not the SE-L, which is rather - puzzling.

[James@RRG_Skoda_Rochdale]

Yes, sadly the new gen keys don't appreciate being opened and resealed.

I'm glad you're happy with your new rapid!
