vRS's on the road

Featured Replies

I've only ever seen two.

One white one in Inverness a couple of months ago and one black one in Royston earlier this week on Tuesday.

Nah. None in Millom area. NVM

Saw my 3rd vRS yesterday (since last September).

A black one with dark wheels and very dark windows just outside Brighton.Wheels had a fine red line around the rim which looked ok but not my taste.

Roll-on my Race Blue one please Skoda!

Seen one other VRS Same as mine, out on the A90, gave each other a nod on the way past! Saw one Green vrs with silver alloys a Black one and the ex demo up here in Aberdeen! So a few, but still not many! I seem to be the only young person with one up here anyway!

Maybe about 2 or 3 Gti's, a heap of A1's and 3 or 4 Bocca's ... someone along the road at work owns one.

I've seen a Rally paint scheme hatch in Redcar, Cleveland and a customer of our shop in Guisborough has a green hatch!

Other than these two I have yet to see another on the roads.. not seena single estate yet so I feel I may be fairly unique in my area for a while.

I guess we havent crossed paths yet ;)

Only seen two hatchback's, no estates. I thought i'd see more but alas they all buy lesser models :D

Why is yours a "combi" in the UK? Is it left hand drive?

I havent seen any round my area so im guessin im the only one :wonder: When i went back to the dealers in chesterfield though i did spot 4 driving around within an hour so chesterfield must be a hot bed for the fabia vrs lol

Well to be fair I've not even got my car yet!

I'm rarely down York way either Wibb, but the times I do head that way I will have my eagle eyes in.

I saw my first vrs on the road the other day, white with black roof and black pack on an 11 plate and it looked pretty good :thumbup:

Seen a green one on a car transporter earlier in the year too

You don't see many because they look horrible and the dealers aren't selling loads :p (runs for the door)

There does not seem to be any in the Reading area either!

In fact in the 1300 miles I've done to date I have not seen another one!

  • 2 weeks later...

there`s always My link made famous by Jezza on Top Gear.That tells you how many registered cars there are of each make/model etc....although its not area specific and I dunno how accurate it is,its still rather addictive :)

Its an estate, but i like the sound of combi better :)

I think we need a Fabia vRS Spotting thread... ive done around 1200 miles now and ive only seen 1 green pre MY12 in tesco's ashford. But see the old ones every where

Same for me, I only ever see the mk1...

not that its a bad thing!!

...kids dont like them because they cant afford the insurance you mean

To be fair the Mk I vRS is no oil painting either but looks like that didn't put you off buying one.... :D

Actually managed to spot one on the other side of the motorway on Saturday.

Was driving on M25 near the A1M about 11 am and saw a 11 plate Black one on the other side, the DRL's make it instantly recognisable. I think the plate started HX11 - but not 100% sure.

So the only 2 I have seen in 6 months have been on the other side of a motorway passing me !

:giggle:

Saw a white estate with black wheels in Brighton yesterday, first one.

I was quite impressed with the shape of the estate with the vRS trim.

Live in South Oxfordshire and have seen a white hatch, a blue hatch (that happened to be the dealer demo I drove!) and a black MY12 estate. Our dealer has sold on a used white 11 plate estate but i've not seen it lurking. Quite enjoying owning a rare car!

I live in cornwall and I've only seen 3 - a silver one with black roof, a blue one with silver wheels and a blue one today with white roof and white alloys which looked rather nice.

Mine is white/black roof/dark chromes.

...kids dont like them because they cant afford the insurance you mean

insurance on these is extremley cheap for young drivers. im 22 n pay 700 fully comp compared to a type r or clio cup which was nearly 2k. never seen one around my way or an ibiza cupra. 2 polo gtis though.

I'm 20 and pay 700 so i'm on the same boat as you. MILES cheaper than the VXR Racing I was looking at (2.5k for insurance). Although I do prefer the seats and a few other things in the VXR, the VRS is a no brainer. More economical, faster (apparently due to gear changing - human vs computer) and a hell of a lot rarer! I also find because of that (and if your like me and bought a nice bright green one) that a lot of heads turn (had a guy in a porsche at a set of lights eyeing it up the other day :giggle: ).

Seen a couple of Cupras, 1 Gti and about 4 or 5 VRS's ... White estate with Black wheels/Red hatch with black roof and wheels/ Green with black roof and silver wheels and another Green the same as mine (possibly x2 but i'm sure it was the same one twice) and a white hatch with black roof + wheels. All very nice! :)
