Meh, redesigned bumpers, faster USB charging and wee power boost for VRS. Will probably end up ordering one in 2024 haha.

Hope friendly forum members can help with my request. For health reasons, I've not been able to drive my vrs for the last five months. All being well, I should be behind the wheel again end October. Car has been garaged since easter and not moved an inch. As expected the battery has gone flat and I cannot open the car via keyless technology! In simple terms, how do I (a) get into the car and (b) recharge the battery. Happy to buy a battery charger from Amazon if someone can direct me to the right make/model. Great if someone can give me the a wee steer and what steps I need to take. Obviously I have been focusing on improving my health over the summer. Thanks in advance.

Agree styling of lights weren't best looking but they performed flawlessly along with rest of car - and that's what matters to me. Cheers.

Goodby old VRS, hello new VRS - first impressions, brilliant - a big step up!

Ordered moon white 245 manual estate 14 June 2021 - with panoramic roof and front winter pack. Picking up 31 January 2022. Told new vrs orders is 13 month wait. Pics to follow...

I understand the delays to new car production and challenges facing the sector - what I find really strange is the lack of any narrative or analysis by the motoring journals - AutoExpress and WhatCar. You'd never know there was a major manufacturing problem reading these publications. Just proves they are more about printing glossy adverts for the manufacturers and drumming up future trade.

Sick. Ordered something similar on 15 June 2021 - manual 245 estate with sunroof and front winter pack. Sadly, no sign of car and no news! Enjoy!

Has to be white:

Want the best performing and better looking hatchback get a GTI, want the best performing and better looking estate get a VRS. Simples.

In the UK, current VRS cars get the virtual pedal as standard which includes electrically operated luggage compartment cover. My VRS had a confirmed build week of mid-July and is *slowly* going through the production stages (according to Skoda UK) due to COVID-19 and chip shortage. So don't know if I am getting the virtual pedal or not.

What does this mean as previous estate luggage covers were very much manual operation! I might be missing something here.

Think the colour works best with appropriate black body stickers and roof wrap as above. Might be too much 'green' without.
