Rapid II
I've been using this car for several months, and the overall assessment is positive. I've driven it on several long trips, and the car doesn't get tiring even on 8-10 hour journeys. The suspension is comfortable, and the equipment is rich for the price of 60,000. After 10,000 km, it hasn't consumed even a drop of oil. It drives pleasantly, and the cabin is very quiet. The trunk is spacious. The only drawback is minor creaks from the upholstery, audible from time to time. For now, it's not bothering me. Overall, the car is worth recommending. If you treat the accelerator pedal with care...
Pros:
Comfortable suspension, Rich equipment for the price, Excellent for long trips, not tiring, Very quiet cabin, Spacious trunk, No oil consumption
Cons:
Minor upholstery creaks

Rapid II
The 1.0 engine does its job until you want to accelerate. It picks up well but is thirsty. You won't notice it alone, but family trips showed there are no savings. It's tragic in the mountains. Stuck uphill in traffic and you'll burn the clutch. Here, the turbo lag reveals the lack of displacement that the turbo can't make up for. Above 135 km/h with 5 people, it drinks fuel like a Polonez. On the Katowice-Gdańsk route, average consumption was 8.5 L/100km at an average speed of 135 km/h (5 people with luggage). This was supposed to be economical. But in a Skoda...
Pros:
Good initial acceleration
Cons:
Fuel-thirsty, especially with passengers, Poor performance in mountains/inclines, Significant turbo lag, High fuel consumption at higher speeds/loads, Not as economical as expected

Rapid II
A very good car, even for families. Surprisingly spacious inside, both in the rear seats and in the trunk. It's great for long trips; I regularly drove 400 km with 3 people, and it was fine. The 6-speed gearbox allows maintaining around 2800 rpm at 140 km/h. Fuel consumption is low, around 5 liters per 100km in mixed driving with legal speeds. Unfortunately, it's a turbo car, so it exhibits typical turbo consumption: if you don't push it, it's economical.
Pros:
Surprisingly spacious interior, Good for long trips, Low fuel consumption, Smooth 6-speed gearbox
Cons:
Typical turbo consumption when pushed

Rapid ii
I've owned the car since January 2018 - the Ambition version. It's mainly used for work. Routes of 200 to 800 km two to three times a week, the rest is local (small town). A few trips to the Bieszczady mountains per year. Spark plugs replaced at the first warranty service. At 105k km, front discs and pads were replaced - these are all the investments so far. And of course, oil and filter changes. I recommend them more often than every 30k km as per the manual. The car is spacious, trunk over 500 liters. For holidays 2+1 with
Pros:
Spacious trunk (> 500 l), Reliable for long trips, Low maintenance costs so far
Cons:
Recommended oil change interval shorter than manual

Rapid ii
I've owned over a dozen cars in my life, various brands, but this is my first Skoda. Just a few years ago, I wouldn't have even considered it. Currently, I'm using a Skoda Rapid, and it's performing fantastically. City fuel consumption is 6.3 L/100km, highway 4.8 L/100km. Very good material quality, and my Style model has practically complete equipment, including heated seats and cruise control. I've also driven a friend's Skoda Octavia RS and Superb L&K models, and those were out of this world for me, with how those cars are...
Pros:
Fantastic performance, Excellent fuel economy (city/highway), High-quality interior materials, Well-equipped Style trim (heated seats, cruise control)
Cons:
Previous reluctance to consider Skoda
