Thinking about leaving the rapid

Featured Replies

I've got a 13 plate rapid had it over 3 years with no problems.

Had a call from skoda so popped down and took a spaceback sport 18 plate with 2.500 miles ex-demo selling for £14.000

The offer £4.000 trade on mine.

Now even thou was nice it didn't blow me away.

But question is I am tempted to look into the fabia redline as I fancy a smaller car.

I have looked at the Monte Carlo and redline but redline is more tempting 

 

Please help haha what to choose 

Bristol Street Motors have several zero miles Toledo Xcellence 18 plate for £12000.

 

Much smarter inside (and quieter too) than the Spaceback Sport (I test drove the SB Sport 1.0 at Westgate but bought the Toledo 1.0 from the same dealer)

Random one here - but at the moment i have a new Ford Fiesta as a hire car until they come collect it and drop something bigger off while my Superb is off the road, its a Titanium spec and you know what... its built really good with a 1.0T 100bhp engine.. Much better than expected !

I drove a new fiesta and focus few years ago they do look nice just can't stand the console feel like all cramped in there and space age looking.

I had a focus as a hire car a few weeks ago too, i didnt like that at all...

 

Below is the new Fiesta dash - i have done 500 miles in it in 3 days, you know what... its an ok place to be and its coped fine with the miles.

Looks like a vast improvement over the previous one, apart from that iPad thingy.  I actually quite like the current Focus (US version at least) but the new one is due soon.

 

However, replacing a Rapid with a Fiesta is surely going to involve major sacrifice on space.

now, a vRS version of that might not be a bad thing....

 

eve if it does look like a cross between an A3 and a volvo XC60 at the back

At least the from the drivers seat of the latest Fiesta you don't have to look at the back.

 

Duller than a dull thing :sleepy:

Wow!! only £4k for a 2013 Rapid:excl:

 

Seems a very low part-ex offer, especially against another Skoda.

 

Had it done a very high mileage?
