Well I sold my MK1 Fabia vRS in march and soon realised it was a stupid decision really. Bought a Leon FR TFSI and after the initial few days, just started missing my little Fabia. I've looked around at a few cars recently, Audi A3's, Golf GT TDI's, Octavia and Fabias again but couldn't find one that didn't look two different colours, had bad repair jobs or looked like they'd been clocked. Then last night I went to look at one and bought it. So next week if everything runs smooth I will be the proud owner of a 07 plate Octavia vRS TDI. It's only done 45k, in race blue with the 18" alloys, Columbus Sat Nav and a 6CD changer. It's in really nice condition and only had 2 owners. Needless to say I'm rather excited again.

Nice tradeup from Fabia vRS to Octy vRS, I did the same ,sold Furby vRS, bought something else supposedly more economical, was a disaster, so came back to a vRS , & was lucky they had zero vat & finance.

Welcome back

Excellent - very similar to mine!

I love both cars, Fabia is nippier but the Octavia feels more mature (like me) and handling is better.

Yeap! I did the same thing too, sold my red Mk1 Fabia vRS and soon came to regret it. Took me nearly three years to get the one I have now, a bit older but was low mileage with service history. Paid a bit more than I had wanted to but, I got what I wanted in the end and that's the important bit eh? It puts a big smile on my face every time I drive it.

Yeah I'm pleased to be coming back, getting it next week so looking forward to driving it plenty in the coming weeks!

Mines heading off to Shark soon for DPF delete and remap, pretty decent standard mind you, but you wait for the turbo to spool more than the Fabia.

Let me know when you've had DPF delete,thinking about doing the same in my 12 cr vrs,had stage 1 done at shark,impressed!

I did nearly get another MK1 Fabia vRS SE but the prices of them are still sky high, got the Octavia for £1k more than I was going to spend on a Fabia. Thought it would be better in the long term with it being a bigger car with more room in. It's going to have to go some to beat my Fabia tho, was a great little car that.
