Mine is the same for all 3 so if the door strips are red so is the background to the maxidot and infotainment screen

mine does all

Haha I'm in the same boat, just swapped from an ST, so will be scraping again when the cold weather comes!

Yeah lovely spec that is mate, good find!

Ok.. well maybe wrap it in situ is a better idea lol

I swear some MOT stations use the test as a licence to print money!

Cool seen you can get "genuine" black ones on flea bay for £40 odd... I'm assuming its an easy enough job to swap them over

Hello I just took delivery of a vRS as a company car, unfortunately I wasn't able to tick any options but I really wanted the black pack as I'm not a fan of the sliver grille. Just wondered if anyone had got it wrapped, how much it cost etc? Ideally I would need to be able to remove the wrap when I hand the keys back when the lease is up...

One of the vRS not the best as I haven't had a chance to get any good ones yet !

Yeah that's the plan... not quite ready to turn my back on my boy racer roots!

Unfortunately nothing as it's a company car... in my head I'd like to sort out the dorky stance lol I'll have to wait 3 years though until I can buy the lease out!!

Thanks very much

Hello just took delivery of a Mk3 Octy Vrs Estate in Quartz Grey Here are a few of my previous cars The Octy is the is the most sensible car I've had for a few years! But must say I'm liking it a lot so far..

Excellent info thank you

Thanks for the above info, all it says in the manual is don't give it full revs for the first 1000km

Ok thanks for that, I did check will will have another look

Hello, just taken delibery of a new Vrs Tdi. I was just wondering about any specific running in instructions. I have had engine rebuilds etc done on previous cars and then had to run them in over a set amount of miles... this being a fresh engine I thought I might have to do this but I can't find any info on this anywhere?

Well I was waiting only a few weeks as they had stock in, just pot luck with that! For reference my deal was: £314 p/m lease (business) 20,000 miles p/a Full servicing Breakdown cover Consumables included (e.g. tyres, brakes etc) Quartz Grey 2.0l TDI Vrs Estate (no options)

I was in the same boat as you and went for the Vrs estate (tdi) I looked at a load of cars and this just seemed like the best offer overall. Literately had it 2 weeks and have been away on business most of that time so not really had a good ride out in it yet. Normal work mileage is about 800 - 1000 miles a month so I expect to get some good miles on it soon. Things I dont like: Its a diesel... not really fault of the car but its very different from tuned petrols (this is the 1st diesel I've owned / 1st company car)... saying this, for a diesel it revs out quite nice and seems quick enough. It is far better than some of the hire cars I've driven over past year or so (Vaxhaull / Peugeot see to have some horrible engine / gearbox combos) The ride is a bit hard at slower speeds, town driving can be a bit of a pain Annoying sound generator - seems to a blight of newer cars (last car was Mk2 Focus ST so used to that nice 5 pot burble) Stance is a bit dorky Some of the interior plastics are a bit on the cheap side Not the most entertaining steer I've ever been in Things I do like: Standard kit is great in my opinion. Nice big glass touch screen, infotainment system, cruise control, DAB / USB, Satnav, adaptive lane control etc etc... This is important if you cant spec extras Nice seats Its huge especially if you go for the estate, so its very practical, nice touches like being able to fold down the rear seats from the boot etc I really like the gearbox, the throw is short and precise Clutch and break feel are nice Seems to grip well for a big car Nicely composed in the wet on the motorway I love the looks Even though its not the most 'fun' handling car, in Vrs mode the steering is nicely weighted at speed and the car does cover ground at a rapid pace Even though a few of the plastics are a bit cheap Skoda have made sure they are in parts of the car you dont look at during normal driving... all the bits you see and touch when on the road are high quality and the cabin generally feels like a really good place to be... the ambient lighting is a very nice touch! Cant really comment on mpg yet as I've not had it long enough... do love the green driving monitor thing though (although you get this with all models I expect) If you have to get a sensible car and are not quite ready to let go of your boy racer roots the Vrs is a solid choice, if your more concerned about ride comfort get a superb (if its on the list)
