This car has manufacturing defects.

Been facing problems with my rapid. Just been 6 months from the date of purchase and it has already started showing problems with the suspension and brakes. Whenever I go into a pothole while braking at 20-30kmph, a loud cracking sound comes from the left front side.Took the car to the service station and they kept it for straight 10 days telling me that it was a manufacturing defect and a team from pune will come to see into the matter as they have tried replacing all the parts and the car was still making that sound. Later when 10 days passed, I mailed Skoda Pune to replace the car as the car already started coming up with problems within 6 months of purchase etc etc. And the very next day, I got a call from the service station telling me that the car is completely fine. It was only a problem with some nut and bolts and I can pickup my car. Kept the car for 10 days in the station telling me it was a manufacturing defect and a team would come to see into the matter and the very next day of requesting a replacement, all of a sudden it is a nut and bolt problem. Can a car actually make it to even 2 years which breaks down in 6 months? The car I bought with all my savings is giving me problems that I never expected and now I am planning to sell it off. Skoda India has the most pathetic after sales.

    Except the ground clearance, which is not on very superb side to cater for few bad roads of the countryside, Rest, safety, facilities, style, suspension, handling, mileage ,braking, control, 5star NCAP safety rating, everything is exceptional. Such a car with european standards of quality of material, turbo petrol engine, and 4.44 metres in length, with jist a price of 7.79 L, was exceptional car. Still there is no car in India which can beat it in all these aspects, with such a price. It's historical, as far as turbo petrol engine, 5 star safety, 4.44 metres size and 7.79L price is concerned. It will remain a record for long in the history of cars in India.

    Skoda Rapid - Well-built And Stylish Car
    Skoda Rapid remains identical to the previous model in terms of design and dimensions but has been styled to make it look a bit sportier. The Monte Carlo edition particularly gets new blackened elements like the 16-inch alloy wheels, gloss black finish, side skirts and black spoiler and a blacked-out grille. The feature list includes LED headlamps, LED daytime running lamps (DRLs), as well as front and rear fog lights.

    Mileage And Comfort
    Excellent and robust car. Gives good mileage on the highway. I bought it in mid-2021 and drove around 60km, This gives a comfortable ride and good mileage of around 22kmpl on highways.

    Skoda Is Best In Compared To Other Cars
    At this price, it's the first choice. Skoda provides all high-level quality in this car. Like safety, power, etc. Nobody beat you with other cars, like Hyundai Verna, Honda City, Maruti Ciaz🤣🤣. I Love it. SKODA (Simply Clever)

    Super and Safety
    Classy and Punchy. No vehicle in this segment can match the performance. It's a bit high maintenance as the spares are costly.
