I have been using a Skoda Rapid for the last 7 months now - its an automatic version. It has been very good to use and there have been no problems. I purchased it from TAFE - St. Marks Road and if you are planning to buy - please contact Shivangi - the sales person. Shes very courteous.
The car itself is very sturdy and a good drive. Its much better than the Honda CIty and the Hyundai Verna (Fluidic). It has also got very good supension and so Bangalore roads are not a problem. I paid an on road price of 11.3 for the automatic version - so is good value for money too.
It comfortably seats 5 we even have a baby seat installed at the back the best part is that - no service is required for a period of 1 full year. So, just wanted to share my feedback about this car - its a good buy and a good family car.
