I have not driven the Rapid, although we have a short term lease/hire Exeo, which is similar. Its very classy inside, despite being a sea of black, seems well made and returns 50mpg without trying. Taking it steady 60mpg is on the cards, although flogging it 45 is always registered. I like it inside, although not keen overall, because there is something about a Volvo V60 that is alluring???..!!

There seems to be something missing with VAG products, and I am not sure what.
