Hi everyone.

Been reading a few threads before ive posted this and it looks like a very useful/fun forum - much like the Fiat forum im also a member of

Im thinking of swapping my Fiat Punto for a Fabia VRS in the nearish future. Ive read loads and loads of excellent reviews about the car on this site and others and cant really fault it. It should be a big step up from the Punto, being only a little 1.2 8v- a sheep in wolf's clothing , in both performance and build quality. I went to the dealers yesterday and sat in a VRS and the seats were amazing, I felt right at home in them! However im yet to test drive it, im going to wait nearer the time im wanting to swap

Hopfully i'll become a regular on here (fingers crossed) Anyway enough of me rambling on

Welcome to the site, Dave

Remember that the reviews on this site are likely to be slightly biased at times (But still accurate, I reckon!)

You'll not be dissapointed. Well impressed with ours.

Hello and welcome to briskoda

Think you will find Skoda build quality to be far better than Fiat

Thanks for your welcomes

Build quality is a must for my next car, im fed up with the constant rattles I get in the Punto (02 reg so its not 'that' old!) And obviously im after a bit more punch/fuel economy.

I have some queries about if/how the Fabia can be modded but im going to search first and then post in the Fabia section if needed.

Welcome :wavey:

Sensible thing to do, is test drive, close to the time you want to order, otherwise if you drive it now , you WILL place an order.

How refreshing, you are indeed most welcome

Arghh id love to test drive it now! But better wait

Ive got a question, didnt know where to post so might as well do it here. What are Skoda dealers like in terms of budging on prices of new/used VRS's? Ive seen a car broker on the net offering them cheaper are these any good and have dealers been known to match these lower prices?

Cheers

I've seen people mentioning getting about a grand off , sometimes more.

Best bet is print out a few quotes from car brokers and use them as a starting point when you talk to your dealer.

Cant believe it! Ive gone and ordered one

Went for a red one, with xenons and heated seats. Got a good price from www.autofinders.co.uk - it came to

Welcome to Briskoda

A good decision. When do you hope to collect it?

I was told it would arrive early to the middle of May (When the funds come through )

Its going to seem like a lifetime until then

Ive got to think about selling my Punto, although its not vital I do........I hope
