Thanks!

How do you remove the centre trim? I don’t like the fake carbon in the VRS so want to wrap it gloss black!

Looking good. Just a thought but has anyone tried a USB hub plugged into the MIB USB? If it works you could tuck this behind the dash, fit a USB port into the original mounting hole below the climate control and also have your lightning cable in the arm rest. All looks factory finish and you retain the original use of the USB below the climate control

Thanks all for the replies. I was expecting them to do less than what people are quoting here in all honesty so that makes it the perfect car for me. Best just hope that “the one” is still on the forecourt when I go back next weekend!

Sounds promising. The 1.5 in the new focus is miles better than the old 1.6 but still needs labouring a lot to get anywhere hence the relatively low mpg to modern day standards. I’ll be happy with anything over 40mpg as work will cover the cost of that at today’s fuel prices!

We discussed that in the dealership but they want £1000. If it was £250 (which I thought I could do when I saw on the advert on the Skoda approved used website you could reserve it for £250) then I’d do it and if I lost out on the money, I’d take that hit but I’m not prepared to do so with 1k i May go back tomorrow and have a chat with the guy again. Seemed very helpful and not pressurising in the slightest which is something I experienced at Ford when I went to test drive a Mondeo on Thursday!

I’m tempted. Issue I have it I’m currently in a company car but I’ve been offered cash for cars but it’s not been confirmed yet. The garage have been really good and offered to hold the car for me until the end of April if I put a deposit down but I don’t want to do so just in case the cash for cars isn’t authorised. Its a difficult decision. I could do it and possibly lose a £1000 but it’s the perfect car for me!!

Thanks all. That’s really good to hear. I almost didn’t consider a VRS because I assumed they would be awful on fuel! hope it’s still there in a weeks time then when I am able to buy!

Thanks for confirming. Im surprised at how high the mpg is then considering I have to drive my “eco” 1.5tdci focus like an old man to get 55mpg!

Afternoon all! have been stalking the forums for a while now but thought it would be best to sign up and get involved seeing as I am (hopefully) soon to own a FL VRS TDi. Thoroughly looking forward to it. My last Skoda was a mk2 TDi Octavia and whilst it was a basic no thrills car, it’s still one of the best cars I’ve had to date. Hoping the new one exceeds this! one question I have is what do you guys get as real life MPG? I always ignore the manufacturers MPG as I think they are almost impossible to meet but also some manufacturers are well off! I do about 20k a year hence wanting a mix of fun with practicality and economy. Im not expecting amazing economy but is 45mpg a real world figure to be looking at with mostly motorway miles? secobd question, I see the FL VRS comes with LED headlights. As standard are these cornering lights or is that an option? Thanks all!
