1988 Skoda Rapid 130 G review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A mysterious hole appeared in the fuel hose, causing it to break down 4 times before it was discovered, otherwise this vehicle has been ultra reliable.
I do over 30 miles a day, everyday, and it never misses a beat. Cheap to repair at main dealers. True budget motoring.
General comments?
This is a much underated true coupe. It is worth owning, if only on its timeless looks alone. It will also carry 5 passengers in absolute comfort. It effortlessly scoots along at 80 MPH all day if need be. At that speed, the cabin is surprisingly quiet. The handling is very predictable once you know how to drive one. Goodyear tyres a must for wet driving. Avoid cheap tyres, and make sure all wheel pressures are correct. Great coupe.
