Hello, the engine 1.0 TSI is ok, reliable with good fuel consumption.
The problem could be with DSG, it is version with "dry" clutch so you must count with "refurbishment"after cca 120-150 tousend km. It costs about 1500-2000Eu then.
Second problem of Rapid is chassis - not quite solid, so after cca 80-100 thousands km you will have to change some parts.
And last third problem is air conditioning compressor SANDEN, which is not good quality and can break at any time
But during the warranty period, it will be replaced free of charge by the more cavitable DENSO.
If you like VW cars I strongly recommend you VW Polo, the same engine and the manual gear box, of course if needed automic then you have to take DSG.Polo has better parts and interior. You will not make a mistake with this car.
But if you fall in love to Rapid then yes it is not bad car just only you must cout with some fixes during the usages
