Hi all,

Just wanted to say hello.

I ordered my Fabia VRS on 14 Jan 2011 and have been given a build date of week 9 (Early March) with delivery End March. Mine's candy white with black roof, black alloys, heated seats and Bluetooth connection. To say I'm excited is an understatement. Ive got a five bar gate countdown of days on my fridge for god's sake!!!

Always loved cars but never really indulged in a serious motor. Now i'm 30+ with a big mortgage and a family I thought it was time to get something to make my long hours at work worthwhile! Took an extended test drive and was so impressed placed the order the same day.

Granted from my 1.2 Fiat punto anything would be an improvement but was bowled over by the Fab. Even the wife (who really doesnt know a Vrs from A DVD!!!) loved it.

Practicallity and performance. I averaged around 36MPG on the 40 min test drive with some 'spirited' driving.

I love the fact that it looks so understated (unless you know your cars) and can't wait to show a clean pair of heels to some idiot in his fiesta/corsa with body kit and 10" big bore exhaust!

(Of course being a sensible man in his 30's I'm only joking ........... maybe....Ha! Ha!) .....COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS.

welcome to briskoda, mine is 1300 miles old now, I'm sure you will enjoy when it gets here, get yourself along to some of the meets too

Might well do that. The Mrs thinks i'm too mad about the car already though!

Coming from exactly the same car as me mate You won't need to hold down the accelerator just to make it up the hill anymore!

You're right about it being understated, as depending on where you live, people won't have seen one before. Definitely surprising

Spec and colour choice is awesome. Good build week too. Thank god February is a short month eh? :p

Funny reading your comments. I too had a 1.2 punto and now have a vrs. A big difference. Absolutely love my vrs.

I'm trying to keep it all quiet at the moment so the FIAT doesn't overhear and decide to fall apart (any more) before the trade in!!!!!

Welcome I know the feeling although picked mine up today

Keep us posted on the build date

FOX1429, it could have been writing that post except im coming from a 1.2 Clio. Always loved cars but never had anything quick, I too am 30+, mortgage, family and figured its about time I got summat I wanted. Ordered my Fabia VRS on 14th feb, a month after you, and its due w/c 18th April....cannot wait. Reading this forum is the closest im getting to driving it for another 8 weeks so keep posting people, even though wife is already thinking its abit strange how much time im spending on this forum

Will do. Feels like christmas eve every day but christmas is never arriving!!!!!!!
