Hi All,
I am Kris and I own a dark orange Skoda Rapid 2016.  I'd say even after one year, as a very happy owner, I am fascinated by this model and I always wonder why it was a comercial failure.
For me as somebody who is waaay past any kind of young excitement about tweaking, racing..all the stuff younger people care about  (I did as well)..this is the most unassuming modern car on UK roads. I am 100% sure nobody will ever steal it. The highlight is the boot which fits 2 medium sized bicycles. And I also moved house with it during COVID lockdown!!! doing around 30 rounds and using it as as a pickup. 
There's a few things I miss, like a full-color navigation...and perhaps seating adjustment memory similar to OCtavia L&K..and a few other minor things but it's overal a tremedous value for money.  
And in terms of user experienc,e it is MUCH closer to OCTAVIA than FABIA.
 

Hello!

I too am very much into "under-the-radar" cars that don't draw undue attention from miscreants. I like a car to go better than it looks like it will.

I always think of the Rapid as "Rapide", which is an old Skoda that looked like this.

I'm not sure why Skoda dropped the "e". (Maybe they're party animals. )
