I'd disagree with that, I think they look quite good on the road. Always catch my eye anyway.

But then I think the interiors on the Fabia VRS are nice as well and everyone absolutely hates them for some reason.

They are becoming quite rare now, well, nice ones are at least! From some angles they look pretty good don't get me wrong, I can always spot one coming towards me!

I think they looked really dated the day they launched, but can't argue with the spec per Ł you get with them.

Back when I had my PD130 Ibiza a work colleague got an Octavia VRS and it was a much better car to be fair, even though it wasn't exactly the equivelant car.

Just finished an APR trial map, extra power was lovely but I've got all the bits I need to go to Stage 2 now, going to book it in after Christmas at R-Tech!

I've been getting loads of looks and good comments since I've had it more positive attention than the scooby put it that way!

Definitely getting a G60 solid flywheel and VR6 clutch done ASAP as I hate the feeling of the DMF

I nearly considerd an Ocy, when I went to look at the Fabia, but decided I didn't want anything that big, then I looked at the Fabia Estate.

Would you have another one FBL?

Yeah I'd happily have another. it pulled so well once i'd finished with it. Was just a bit 'boaty' in corners. S2000 lacks the power but makes up for it in handling. Kind of opposite of each other

Got a few funny looks at traffic lights and the occasional person pointing at it but never any one waving me down

A Skoda Octavia??! Who'd want a Skoda Octavia??!

Definatley should be a separate vRS section on here now!

Awesome did it make a big difference? Don't have much confidence in the biting point and pulling away etc
