Pros Cons of Skoda Rapid

Pros

  • Power-packed engine
  • Impressive handling
  • Ride feels compliant

Cons

  • Rear legroom could have been improved
  • Cabin of the base trim looks dated
  • Sense of space could be improved

Verdict

Skoda has made a strong statement with the new Rapid. It's done away with the diesel engine and that's a bold step. But the renewed focus on introducing more petrol models to the line-up and giving the 4 years Skoda maintenance, assist and warranty package, just gives you a perspective of how the company wants to make the new Rapid a value for money proposition. Yes, it has bargained on features and there's no automatic available yet, but that equation will change in the next couple of months. The Rapid with the 1-litre TSI offers more bang for your buck and is probably the most fun to drive compact sedan out there.

Pros Cons of Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Pros

  • Be it lazy commutes or aggressive power output, this luxury sedan satisfies all requirements.
  • The steering gives you precise, immediate feedback, and makes sudden direction changes engaging.
  • Mercedes’ "Digital Light" headlight technology adapts to weather, oncoming traffic, and road conditions.
  • This premium cabin gets a flat-bottom steering, brushed metal accents, and a massive touchscreen.
  • New USB package features six 100W fast-charging Type-C ports scattered across the interior.

Cons

  • Riding on 18-inch AMG alloy wheels means you will feel sharp bumps, road creases, and potholes.
  • In an otherwise well-insulated luxury cabin, the ventilated seat’s whirring noise gets annoying.
  • The 48V mild-hybrid tech does a great job of making stop-and-go driving progressive and smooth. 
  • The C-Class sits low to the ground which means getting in and out requires some bending.
  • The nine-speed gearbox can sometimes perform a jerky downshift when you're braking hard.

Verdict

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a reminder of what a luxury sedan ought to be. The C300 especially, is a highly emotional, high-revving petrol motor that Mercedes has crafted to be an absolute hoot to drive. It is a car that looks incredibly handsome on the outside, pampers you with cutting-edge tech on the inside, and puts a massive grin on your face the second you find an open stretch of tarmac.

Bilal Firfiray said in his review:

“If you are looking for a premium luxury sedan which is involving to drive, brings a smile to your face every time you grab the wheel, and feels like a million bucks, there are very few options out there.”

If you are an owner who loves to grab the steering wheel yourself, craves instant mechanical grip, and wants a car that feels like a multi-million-dollar baby S-Class from the driver's seat, the C300 is hands-down the one to have.
