Q. Which on to buy as a first car, Yaris, Nexon and Rapid?

All these cars are good enough to go for. The Yaris definitely has more going for it than just the Toyota badge. In fact, the Yaris has done a good job of cutting out a niche for itself. It sets itself apart by setting new expectations for safety features in the segment and even offers many segment firsts. What’s special here is that the focus is heavily on the experience of luxury. The cabin insulation, the premium interior trim/upholstery quality, and the sublime ride comfort make this a great car for a wide range of buyers. Yes, it isn’t the most driver-centric car and there have been a few misses, in terms of features and in the sense of space. But these aren’t deal-breakers, especially since you get a rich in-cabin experience in the tradeoff and there isn't any compromise on usability. In fact, if you wanted the Corolla Altis and didn’t have the budget for it, the Yaris matches the experience on most counts and even betters it on some (ride, for example).The Tata Nexon has become an even stronger contender than before. With the revised looks, more powerful engine and added features, it surely needs to be on the top of your consideration list. If you will be tackling bad road conditions and want a spacious car with good power performance, you may go for Tata Nexon. If we talk about Skoda Rapid, it misses out on some creature comforts and space when you compare it to its rivals but it undercuts most of them in price too. And if you are worried about reliability issues, Skoda is offering a 1 lakh kilometer warranty package with road-side assistance, included in the price of the car. Our recommendation is that you must definitely check out the Rapid if you list driving pleasure in the top three things you consider before buying a new car. It will offer you great performance, and decent fuel efficiency as well. You may compare all these cars accordingly. Do take a test drive in order to get better clarity.
