\"According<\/a>

According to Skoda the new Spaceback is designed for young people and families<\/p><\/div>\n

While Skoda\u2019s Rapid Saloon certainly represented good value for money it wasn\u2019t the most successful of Skoda\u2019s efforts. We find out if things have improved with the new Rapid Spaceback<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>What is it?<\/b> Skoda’s new Rapid Spaceback is a mini estate or hatchback version of the saloon.<\/p>\n

Who is it aimed at? <\/b>If child cars seats, space for prams and the Labradors are playing havoc with your car choices but you are not yet in the market for a people carrier then this compact family car may just be enough to tempt you.<\/b><\/p>\n

Styling?<\/b> Skoda uses the same wheelbase as the Rapid saloon<\/a> but the Spaceback loses some 180mm from the rear to give it a sleeker overall look.<\/b><\/p>\n

Under the Bonnet? <\/b>Our test car was powered by a tiny 1.2 petrol engine. Other choices include a <\/b>more powerful version of the same engine or a 1.4 petrol. The only diesel on offer is the 1.6 TDI .<\/b><\/p>\n

What about inside?<\/b> While shorter than the saloon the Rapid Spaceback is tardis like inside.\u00a0 The high roofline means headroom is particularly good throughout and space for rear passengers is very generous.\u00a0 There are a host of decent storage solutions throughout. The shorten dimensions mean a compromised boot space when comparing it with the saloon but at 415 litres it can more than hold its own. Consider the Ford Focus has 316 litres and even Volkswagen\u2019s Golf can only manage 380 litres and you begin to appreciate just how spacious the Spaceback is.<\/p>\n

Our car was equipped with a full length \u2018panoramic\u2019 glass roof that stretches from the top of the windscreen right back to the rear window and \u00a0really adds to the light and airy feel throughout.\u00a0 The dash feels a little cheap but everything is where is should be and the driver\u2019s seat is comfortable and all round vision is good. <\/b><\/p>\n

On the Road? <\/b>On the road the Rapid is surprisingly good and our test car belies its tiny 1.2 petrol engine and moderate 84 bhp, and proved fun and eager. There\u2019s a new steering system that is designed for better response and while feedback is still only adequate the Rapid feels planted to the ground at all times.<\/p>\n

And Safety? <\/b>The Spaceback come equipped with a decent level of safety equipment including <\/b>six airbags, stability control and Isofix child seat mounting points. It has not yet been tested by the EuroNCAP but there is little reason to believe it will not achieve a full five star rating. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"<\/a>

The boot sets new standards with its volume of 415 to 1,380 litres.<\/p><\/div>\n

Options? <\/b>Prices for Skoda\u2019s Rapid Spaceback start at \u20ac17,495 rising to \u20ac24,905 for range topping 1.6 tdi diesel in Elegance trim.<\/b><\/p>\n

Economy?<\/b> Low running costs are key in this market. The CO2 emissions and fuel returns vary across the Spaceback range depending on engine and trim level chosen but the official figures for our 1.2 TSI petrol \u00a0is 5.1 litres per 100km on a combined cycle and with emissions of 119g\/km annual motor tax is \u20ac200 per annum.<\/p>\n


\nVerdict?<\/b> If you want a practical compact family car with a very decent boot that is cheap to run the Skoda Rapid Spaceback is a really good option. Overall the Spaceback offers a good balance of comfort, practicality and efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Why you\u2019ll buy one? <\/b>Price, Styling, <\/b>Reliability<\/b><\/p>\n

Why you won\u2019t? <\/b>Uninspired drive, Dull interior<\/p>\n
