Had it a few weeks now and it desperately needed a wash. Fitted my winter wheels and tyres. Also stuck some mud flaps on.

I also have an Impreza, not a spec C though.

Picked up this VRS Challenge last week after a few years in a Superb. Whilst it may lack a few of the toys the Superb had I’m not regretting the swap.

There is no doubt the Superb has more room but the I’ve never really felt I was lacking space in my previous Octavia. The Superb was a great long distance cruiser, exceptionally comfortable and almost luxurious but I really struggled with the damping. I never expected it to have the same firmness of a VRS but the constant bouncing and wallowing on country roads is the main reason for my swap back to a VRS.

Yes, the Superb was a diesel. We had an Octavia VRS diesel before the Superb but so far this has been great fun.

Just swapped our Superb SEL 190 4x4 dsg estate for this Octavia VRS Challenge. The Superb was a good car but it was just a bit boring to drive.

I have a similar loud creaking which seems to be getting worse. Only notice it at low speeds when applying a fair bit of lock. I had the dealer look at this a few weeks ago when it was in for a service and apparently everything was normal. I assume they plugged it into a computer and there weren’t any faults showing.

Hi Everyone, Currently have a Subaru but I'm looking for something a bit more sensible but which is still fun. Test drove an Octavia vrs tdi today and was well impressed. Thought I'd join this site (which looks v good so far ) and see what advice you guys may have.
