I was 25 just took a new job which gave a car allowance (basically a free car) so i bought the cr tdi hatch dsg on a PCP deal spankers when the DSG was first available in the vRS with the CR engine. had it a 13 months now and its great. I already imagine getting a FL or vRS 3 in 2 years time when the deal is up :)

no better car for its size, features and price in my eyes.

32.

Had golfs through my 20s.

Decided my modified VR6 wasn't really family friendly enough now I have a little man to drive around, so my '06 vRS is my attempt at a compromise ;)

Still got the fun factor when required, but now some ncap stars, a refined ride, and a colossal boot for the tons of child paraphenalia!

One thing I need to do though, is get rid of the Bridgestone Potenzas that have been on the car since I got it last September.

I have discovered that they are awful in the wet or ice. Truly awful.

Aside from those, I am loving the vRS !!

I picked up my Mk 2 2006 petrol vRS just before Christmas, trading in my trusty diesel Superb. The difference is not as much as you might expect. I drove steadily in the Superb because its a lazy person's car with relaxed movement between the gears and easy pulling from a strong engine. I'm pleased that, if I choose to, I can drive the vRS nearly as sedately as the Superb. The difference is that when I need to I can drive the vRS as if I were an eager 18 year old again. I'm a youthful 58. In the vRS I'm enjoying the choice of chilled out driving or pinned back in your seat driving. It's a nice choice to have!

I've been driving since 1970, so you can work out that I'm 57. New VRS TFSI in December, have yet to drive it on a road that isn't covered in snow so can form no judgement of it,other than it seems well built and it slides! When younger had Capri's, eventually a new 2.8 Injection Special, two Escort RS 2000's, two Sierra XR4x4's (could do with one now) until family/company car/etc put a halt to such fun. Had a succession of dull stuff,Toyota's, Focus. Thought life is too short, started to look for a used VRS, petrol estate hard to find so bought a new one. Can't wait for it to thaw.

29 when I got my CR earlier this year 30 now.

The boss took a bit of convincing to buy it (company car)

He was bothered about the depreciation, which is better than most

I would rather sell on a vrs than a mondeo or insignia. (Why do Vauxhall make everything out of that funny rubbery plastic!)

A guy at work got a 130bhp SRi Nav Insignia and it is ok if you had a Vectra

Fiesta Diesel

Pugeot 205

Citroen AX

Citroen Saxo VTR

Citroen Saxo VTS

Pug 306GTI (Mrs first car)

Lexus IS200 (Built well but rubbish)

Subaru Legacy B4 (Still Own > 5 years)

Subaru Legacy B4 (Mrs 2nd Car) (Still Own > 3 years)

Skoda VRS CR TDI

I really do like the Legacy's but the VRS is so easy to enjoy as well and is much more ££££ friendly
