Hello all,

Just sold my civic type R and purchased my first skoda fabia VRS 04 plate.

Car is fantastic and im very happy i picked the skoda.

I only covered 3k miles in 15 months with the honda so think the skoda will save me a bit of money without losing the performance.

Great performance coupled with great MPG.

Its a different driving experience than the type R but its certainly a cracking hot hatch.

Any advice with regards to my fabia VRS would be more than welcome.

Cheers.

3,000 Miles in 15 months :eek:.

I did it the other way around to you. I went from the Fabia vRS to the Type R.

Performance wise - Yes the two cars do differ. However this is opening a massive debate on this topic so I will move on.

I loved my Fabia and it had a great MPG and could always put a smile on my face. I did 36,000 Miles in my Fabia '06 plate and the car still felt like new. The only issue I ever had was tyres!

If you don't mind me asking what Year was the car and Mileage when you sold it? - How much did you get for it?

Enjoy the new car and Welcome to Briskoda

My type R was a 55 plate, cosmic grey, premiere edition.

10600 miles on the clock.FHSH

I sold it last week for 10.5k

Loved the type R, amazing car, thrilling drive.

Need something more practical and economical so went for the fabia.

2 very different cars and hard to compare really.

Hello and welcome, enjoy your new motor.

Batten down the hatches......it could go in here.

Its a different driving experience than the type R

Very different, I'd imagine

What, worse? [Runs, as the worms wriggle out of the can]

Welcome to the site:thumbup:

May i ask why have you bought a diesel when your milage is so low:confused: Id be driven an Evo if i only did 3k in 15 months;)

Paul.

welcome along

Got the diesel skoda because for the next 6 months ill have a fair bit of commuting to do.

My wife will also be using the skoda on a regular basis so a diesel makes sense:)

I went from a Honda Accord Type R to a Fabia vRS and they are quite different cars.

The Honda was much faster, handled far better and a had a great soundtrack.

The vRS offers torque wallop in abundance, 45-50mpg and vandal-free and thief-proof driving since it doesn't scream performance.

I've since modded my vRS with RARB and coilovers and 312mm brakes and it has made the car a LOT more fun. It still doesn't handle as well as the Honda (and can't, what with the heavy diesel engine up front) but it's a great all-rounder. Once I remap it to 190-200bhp I'll have similar performance to my Honda (which had 209bhp) but should get 45mpg without breaking into a sweat.

I only changed my Honda because I'd done over 100,000 miles in it. I miss the handling and the VTEC soundtrack. I don't miss the fuel bills or its high profile.

Enjoy your car!

Welcome
