Hi everyone, I have been a member on here for a few years. I was looking for a Skoda a few years back but things changed and I had to keep my old car. I am now in a position to get a Skoda. Initially I was looking at a MK1 Octavia VRS or Fabia VRS. Now because of where I live, I can't afford the insurance on the MK1 VRS which also rules out the MK2 VRS.

So... I am now looking at either a Fabia VRS or MK2 Octavia 140 TDI Elegance. I just have a couple of questions.

1. Which will have the better performance, not 0-60 but 30-70 etc...

2. Which has the better MPG?

3. Which is the better drivers car?

I am not really too bothered about size so its more about how it drives.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

Matt

welcome

hi and welcome

Welcome back

For me the better drivers car will be the MKII Octavia. Just get a test drive to confirm

I've driven both and they're both good cars in their own right. I'd recommend the test drive option. What roads do you use the most?

Hello!:wave23d:

Performance wise they're pretty similar. The Fabia should return slightly better mpg.

As far as driving goes, try both. People on here have differing opinions.

Hi, thanks for the replies, I do a lot of motorway miles. I live in Manchester but work in London a lot. When I am at home I do a lot of town driving. I will definately test drive both though.
