I can only answer for myself on that .. when u get some time to yourself ..Weekend jaunts to the countryside and u like to have a little pleasure while winding thru the countryside oh and the spec.in the 230 Vrs is pretty good..leather electric adjustable heated seats .. diff on the steering ..etc..oh and the fact that everywhere you look theres Fords.. Golfs or Audi or Bmw etc....not many Vrs...so i like that.each to their own i suppose...Sure in this era if u live in a city u dont need to own a car ..just use one of those car sharing online apps...buses, taxis ..cycle or walk.but not for me im a lazy git ...and i like cars:)Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

In response to all above including my previous post...i should have stated that my Diesel was a Vrs mk3 and lots of short journeys and was a 3 month old ex demo/sales managers car...so maybe the way it was driven previous to me purchasing may also have had a negative impact ..but i too confirm the regens use up fuel and in my case were frequent enough to bother me..and light came on fairly regular ..NOT dreaded one where it goes into limp mode and u have to get the car regened in a garage!!.as i said it did happen regular enough..but i am a low mileage and city dweller...and i agree i never got to see the large mpg as they seem to only occur if u are on motorways over a long cruise..well thats what i used to keep telling myself when i had the mk3 Diesel Vrs..On another point..in Republic of Ireland Diesels are the Vrs you are most likely to see..and goes for most large engines here due to tax and insurance costs..so future value may also be a point to bear in mind..regardless they drop in value as soon as u drive it away..so happy choosing whatever you go with...Me..im Back in petrol mode now though 230Vrs.. happy out:) Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Imho as i owned a diesel vrs with a dpf and like u did constant town driving and because it was my first Diesel but sold to me on its fuel consumption and cheap Diesel at the pumps i disregarded the dpf as a minor point..however if u are a town/urban driver and low mileage i would strongly urge you to go the peteol route.1)much more refined /quiet engine 2)Diesels are more expensive to purchase3)My Dpf was constantly doing regens and i also got the warning light numerous times which indicates you must take it for a 20 min drive at a constant rev..i think 2000-2500 revs its in the manual........so it became a bloody nuisance..so i traded it against a petrol Vrs and am soooo happy that i did as it suits my needs..but on the other hand i had no issue towards Diesels just i made a totally inaccurate choice of fuel type vehicle for my needs..i hope this piece of advice helps you a little.

Says photo too large to post..??scratches head!

On a 230 vrs petrol ..Tax 390 euros insurance 600 euros..and 1.28 euros a litre for petrol in Rep.Of Ireland! And data plan is allowing you to connect your phone to the internet while either thru 3g/4g..wifi..and it allows you to use your google maps app.to be displayed on your Vrs radio /headunit screen and also thru speakers so you can hear the directional prompts...very useful app.thru Skodas smartlink system.

I dont want to sound like a smarty pants so no offence to anyone but if you can afford a new Vrs ..tax and insure it and run it..u can afford a data plan...and if not i suggest living beyond your means may be the problem ..lol.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I am surprised anyone would order Sat nav when buying a new Skoda Vrs when Smartlink allows you to use Google maps thru your bluetooth/aux cable..and much better and free!!if you own a smartphone...its simple to use..just like on ur phone or laptop ..just my opinion.

One happy one here hatch version and a friend also has a combi one.. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Previously owned a 2015 vrs diesel..loved the torque etc..and lovely car but due to my low mileage and short drives ..i had constant regens and light on dash requiring the 20 min drive down the motorway at 2000 revs plus..so got rightly sick of this so traded it in for the newer petrol 230 vrs ..oh the joys ...no more dpf to worry about.and lovin the 230vrs

I thinj its pretty good for the price Nezman...have u put the settings on bluetooth and media to loud in the info/head unit ..and then turn Bass up to about 8 and treble 6 mid 6/7 and depending on your music source its really the users ears own preference and style of music etc...just have a play..and dont forget to turn up your phone volume too:) Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
