just a quick hi, to introduce myself. i bought my skoda Fabia 3 years ago after getting rid of a troublsome laguna RTsport. quite a leap of faith at the time but one that has proved, one of my better decisions. now looking to buy my next skoda. (diesel 1.4 Vrs) i hope. and would appreciate help in best deals to be had. e.g. expected trade in, deals on offer, and any info on how the car perfoms, would all be a great help. i am located in the Northeast of england.

hope you all have a HAPPY NEW YEAR

bye

1.4 Vrs? surely you have got your wires crossed friend. The Vrs is a 1.9, but you are heading in the right direction.

I am also in the northeast of england.

o.k. 1.9 it may have to be then. so whats the rundown on it. only driven petrol til now and still a bit unsure about performance. what insurance group is it in.

Really, test drive one and you will be so suprised. I was sceptical about the whole "diesel" thing but I don't think i will ever go back to petrol. The insurance group is 9 IIRC, but for

welcome to briskoda

Take the Fabia vrs for a test drive, don't think you will be disappointed, although getting the best out of a diesel requires a different to driving technique to a similar petrol powered vehicle.

We have a growing number of members in the North East

test drive is a must for me. if for nothing else but to put my petrol prejudice to bed.

between Darlington and Durham. (newton aycliffe). bought my fabia 1.4 from Philip Wilks in Witton Gilbert small garage that i would gladly recommend. i did however get my 2nd service at the dealership in darlington which was also very good. this and my driving experiance with the fabia is the main reason i am intending to stick with the skoda.

Welcome

WOW 3 years, was Briskoda really that well hidden from you

My only advice is Go & Drive the vRS, you will very quickly learn the the driving style required by this car. ( Because you'll be out in it at every opportunity )
