I still think Skoda could have done more to this car though to make it even better and more individual but I guess that would have meant a higher price?

they could of started by giving it more power than the standard vrs imo

Sorry if you've already seen it, but I've only just found this!

Only 500 available as of 1st Jan '09. Front seats are stunning!

nice colour, seats are brilliant

Hate to say it - but I really dont like it. Prefer the standard seats and wheels :S Nothing there that really stands out for me

No petrol estate listed then?

Has anyone seen one of these in the flesh yet (not from a distance at the docks)? Does anyone know of a dealer that actually has one in the showroom?

Came with all the optional extras as standard (side airbags, zenons, heated seats, reverse sensors, double din satnav thing etc..). Only available in white, with white wheels.

Also they had a full WRC style anniversary vinyl kit covering the car, so it stands out a bit!!

Here's what they look like. Pretty rare...

the wrc was nearly the same spec as the vRS, the only things it gained were Xenons, side airbags and heated seats i think, no satnav and certainly not all the extra's. it was very similar to the fabia SE in that it gained virtualy nothing(colour and leather).

No DSG ? No good then.

I think they should of fitted it with the new 2.0T unit from the Audi Stable, stuck with the Zeniths but painted them black to offset the candy white body colour.. Also very disappointing to see that they have skimped on the Zenons :really:
