I have owned my Octavia PD vRS for about 9 months after trading in my Honda Accord Type S. As of yet I haven't regretting going to the 'dark side' (diesel!).

I did try the petrol vRS and thought it was fantastic but in the long term I thought that the diesel would be the more sensible option.

The PD vRS is as quick as the Honda through the gears, but in every other circumstance is quicker due to the oomph of all of that torque. It is also much more economical (33 - 50% without really trying). I get the same mpg as my wife's Micra but have 170 hp and all that torque!

The only thing is the engine is a bit rough after the Honda's (I would like to try the CR engine).

I have only had one problem with a sensor on the exhaust which seems a reasonably common problem. This was replaced under warranty with no hassle by Simpsons of Preston.

Looking forward to spending more time in my vRS!

Hello and welcome, dark side is best.....

Enjoy it, and there's often meets in the North West, so maybe come along.
