Nothing.

General Comments:

Good points about the Rapid are:

Reliable, economical, cheap to buy, decent to drive, good looking with the right color and wheels, plenty of equipment even on lower range models.

Bad points:

Ride is firm, not as spacious as an Octavia or Superb. That's about it really.

Actually it is popular enough as a private hire cab, though most taxi drivers opt for the Octavia or even a Seat Toledo, which is basically the same car.

Give the Rapid a try if you find a good one at a good price, they are a great little hatchback car.
