Hello everyone,

This week I picked up a new Fabia VrS - silver !

I've had loads of cars including 7 or 8 Subaru's (in fact, still have a new model Outback 2.5 SE) and I'm very impressed with the Fabia.

It reminds me of my very first Subaru back in early 90's - one of the very first Impreza Turbo's in the country - except for the handling. The straight-line urge is irresistable and I'm old enough now not to bother about flinging it around corners on 2 wheels !

My VrS is absolutely standard. I'm not bothered about chipping it or modifying it (too old for all that....!) but the only thing I would like is cruise control which seems to be a bit of problem for the 05 models. Dealer in Bury couldn't (can't) fit it

Doing a search on this forum doesn't seem too conclusive so if anyone knows of a place where cruise can be fitted around the Manchester area I would appreciate details.

Anway, a bit long winded for the first post but - hello again !!

Welcome to Briskoda.

hello and welcome.

Welcome! subaru and skoda seem to have close links with a few subaru owners going skoda and vice versa.

Enjoy the car!

Thanks for the welcome !

I'm in a good position of having a Fabia VrS and a Subaru Outback.

A pretty perfect combination really !!

Looking to put some miles on the VrS for commuting along the M60 and keeping the Outback for family/rugby/kids/tip use (not in that order exactly.....)

Welcome :wavey:

Once you have the 1000 miles run in, then you will really be able to see how flexible the little rocket is on the M60

Hello and welcome
