Hi, I'm not yet a Scud owner, but I'm looking seriously at getting an Octavia vRS.

I did look at the Focus ST170 which on paper is very similar performance and handling wise, but I've read a lot of bad things on it's reliability.

I shall be hanging around reading information for a while, the re-maps taking the standard vRS up to 220bhp sound very interesting, so I'll probably be asking some questions about that.

I'm looking for a px trade for my current car (Focus 1.6 zetec) in the region of

Welcome to Briskoda. It's not just the vRS version of the Octavia which can be remapped to circa 200bhp...

Welcome! Presume you have test driven an octy? Great fun,reasonably exclusive still,rock solid as far as I am concerned and it's true about not just the vRS being tweaked.

Go for it!

Do the other models come with 17" rims and cool pimped out green brakes?

Seriously though, surely that performance ceiling for modifications is higher for the vRS models?.. and if I leave it as stock while I save up.. the basic speed will be a nice improvement over my 98bhp Focus

Hello and welcome.

The Octy is a quality car indeed. The handling might not but up to the focus' ability but the Octy offers miles of smiles.

'Fraid not. But the list of extra goodies to compensate for the missing inch from the rims and a few bits of plastic trim more than compensates. JM2PW and not trying to stir....
