Has anyone owned one of these beauties? What are they like and how do they compare to your skoda?

I saw an rs 500 (probably fake) the other night at a cruise with a thunder saloon body kit and ultra wide lattice bbs spilt rims, looked the business.

a relative of mine had 2 for sale one was 15k other was 16k

Aparently they do hold their price very well but insurance on this isn't as bad as it was in the early 90's as they are considered to be a warm hatch now.
