Just joined the website as I should be picking up my new Octavia vRS on Friday, I have admired them for a while now and have never enjoyed driving my 2 year old Nissan Primera SVE. I owned a Primera GT before that and loved it, but I was drawn to the gadgets and different looks of the new Primera.

Hello :wave23d:

Picked up my Octy vRS last Thursday

I can warn you that the first 1000 miles are going to drag

Am going up to visit the outlaws :eek: in Inverness on Saturday, so that should put another few hundred miles on the clock

Am going the long way up via Crianlarich, Glen Coe, Fort William and Loch Ness - a few more miles and far better driving roads

I used www.Confused.com and stated that the car was imported but UK spec which I believe it is. They do a search with numerous companies and came back with a quote of

Hi and welcome, as a former GT owner I can say this much; the vRS is missing somthing from the GT's sense of road craft....but it has alot more elsewhere.

I was mildly aghast when I walked into the Nissan dealers to trade up from the old GT to a nice new toy laden GT equiv....was about the shortest time I've even been in a dealership, so I started skoda ownership
