General comments?
The 1980's skoda's were rubbish according to populatr opinion, What do they know about cars, the rapid is fun fast and furious, leaving its succesor, the skoda dora 3.6l STANDING!
It's a nimble car to turning in quick screaming round the corner and coming out.
It's a rear engine rear wheel drive like the ruf's. power is direct and immediate.
Its steering is responsive and gives awesome feedback, it hides nothing.
The rapid 1.3 is definatly a porche 911 at only 1 50th at a price.
