DSG Gear Ratios on a new vRS.

Possibly buying a new vRS. Help please.

I have the foot-well lights (I thought they're not available in the UK?). If you set them to 0 in the options menu they will come on upon opening the car, but they'll turn off once you set off. I've seen this general misconception. If you look at the official specs, the high powered variants (GTI/GTD, VRS TSI/TDI) are indeed heavier than the "normal" versions, but they are almost identical between themselves. So a VRS TDI weighs about the same as a GTD. A 30cm stretch in some sheet metal will add some weight, but not that much! -

I'm glad I could help. I wasn't expecting such an enthusiastic response. It is a major improvement for the interior of the car and my daughter loves it. -
Wow! Really like the wheels, the stance and the overall look. Me also having a white combi VRS has nothing to do with it...

Search for my user name, I've posted mine in two or three separate threads. Here's a link. -
I like the "off-roading" they show in that video. You could do that in a VRS without even trying... Could've done better to show why haldex 5 is better over the FWD cars. Otherwise I like the wheels and the interior. Not that keen on the bumpers though, they don't really seem to match the rest of the car.

I do like the matte effect from the wrap though. The color isn't too shabby either... Not that much like the Volvo one. -

I like the blackened Skoda logo on the bonnet. Not sure about all the other mods, a bit too OTT for me... Congrats to them for trying anyway, being a show car and all. PS: Is that a matte blue vinyl wrap? Looks like it. I'm actually thinking about getting mine wrapped, since I'm getting rather bored of the white I have. -
Like it was mentioned already, we all must be driving stolen cars in different ways, as I'm getting way lower mpg numbers when I "need" to. I'm closer to Orville's numbers, but that's probably because we both live in crowded cities with heavy traffic. My short trips don't help either. If I'd be driving the car at a constant 65 mph it could get better, but I just can't get myself to do that...

Lol, you sound like you belong in pimp my ride or something similar... :P -

That sounds nice! -

Hmm, those seats look amazing. But I kind of figured it must be an aftermarket system. Still, it looks like really good job, whoever did those. If you could spare some more detail on those, that'd be great. Maybe open up a new topic so we don't hijack this one. I bet a lot of people would be interested to know more (specs, price etc). -
Hotter Skoda Octy vRS spied testing again
TudorM replied to Wassers's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
They must be. They look bigger with those 19" wheels than they do on mine with only 18" wheels. It's probably going to be as Neily pointed out... -

Sorry for the off-topic, but say what? Please expand... Was that a factory option? Haven't heard of it anywhere. -

It's quite obvious that the rear brakes are larger than on the standard VRS. Definitely a test mule of something even more powerful than a stock VRS. My guess it will only have the diff (like the Cupra), but not the haldex (like the R). Bring it on! I'm curious about the styling changes (if any) that will come with this model.
