I have had some nice cars in my time (Alfa 156, Mazda MX-5, Pug 306 D Turbo) but I can honestly say after 40k miles in the Octy vRS, it still puts a smile on my face everytime I get inside... for so many reasons:

1. Initial cost (would need to spend an extra

i upgraded from a impreza turbo, to an octy vrs, to a furby vrs. Not due to money reasons, just fancied a change. loved all three, Skodas def better screwed together though. if i had the money i'd have,

2. mental furby, something like putting the toureg engine in plus everything under the skin, but try to keep it looking as standard as poss.

3 mental octy vrs, again try to keep it looking as standard as poss, but with something like 1000bhp 4 wheel drive, basicaly an octy bodyshell with racing car evrerything else. the ultimate Q car. Probably kill myself in it, but so what

right i'm off to buy a lotto ticket, well you never know

1. I was just wondering how many Fabia vRS drivers on here would really have wanted to buy the Octavia vRS but could not afford it?

Strangely enough I wanted the Fabia and ended up in the Octy

I had the choice of a Fabia Vrs and Octavia vRS. I could not justify the higher insurance (
