Hi there,

Sorry if this post asks for questions that have 'been done'!

I had a brief look through the forums but finding the right answer is like finding Dunkin' Donuts in Victoria Beckham's diet.

I'd like to buy an Octavia vRS. Specifically a:

• New
  
• Petrol engined
  
• Manual
  
• Hatchback
  
• (Probably in black)
  

Now, when I say new, I don't mean the newest of the new. For clarification, I mean this one:

Do the last few of these have the slightly improved interior layout that the Limited Edition one has? I don't mean leather seats (and as a vegetarian, I don't want them, no matter how great they look!). Apart from the grey paint, alloys, badging and trip computer, it's roughly the same as the standard model that I want, right? It's just that I read something on Honest John that seemed to suggest the Limited Edition has a few differences other than those I listed or Googled.

I prefer the standard (outgoing) vRS to the Limited as I would like a sunroof, curtain airbags, heated seats, and probably different paint, and apparently the latter can't have any extras.

So, finally I get to my most specific question! Can I get one of these still? I read somewhere about the new (new new!) ones starting to roll off the production lines on May 25th. I know with the current climate, there are still outgoing brand new vRS's around, but I'm not sure if I could get the bits I wanted (sunroof, heated seats etc). Even if cars aren't shifting much, they surely can't change the production line for me!

I've only recently discovered the vRS. Reading the reviews, and between the lines, it's clearly a great car. I'm fed up with badge snobs, and snobs in particular. The story of the Skoda founders is an admirable one. Similar to Lamborghini and Honda in many ways.

I just want a chance to get one before they go. I wanted a BMW M 635CSi, and they stopped making it. I wanted a Ford Mondeo ST220, and they stopped making it.

Let's hope I can beat the cliche and get a new vRS!

Cheers, for any help received. Or even just reading this waffle.

As an actor, and someone who appreciates no nonsense engineering, a vRS is perfect.

You can't totally avoid leather in any VRS. You get it on the steering wheel and the seat bolsters.

No.
