Psssst. Keep quiet, and DON'T tell that narky lot over there on the Octavia 2 board or they'll be in here hollering for my head...again .... BUT, after 2 months of owning an Octy vRS CR170 estate with all the fancy bells and whistles, I still prefer the Fabia....by quite a long way too.

Why?

Beacause of it's simplicity, nimbleness, and general superior driveabilty, that's why, and if that crowd over there don't like that, tough!

I wouldn't worry what people think. I has Fabia and although I like it, it's nowhere near as much fun to drive as my 1996 Rover 214. I feel so much more connected with it and it can keep up with most things through the twisties

Don't get me wrrong now....as some of that lot over there obviously did, I do like it, but it just doesn't put the smile on my face that the Fabia still does after 6 years, which I find almost unbelievable tbh.

Can't see me keeping the Octy that long tbh, whereas the Fabia.................

If it was worth the same, then yes, i possibly would!!

Been said a thousand times in here by many. WHY didn't they ever produce an estate version in the first place?

Madness in the extreme.

Mine too is a "vrs" estate in special "vrs" elegance trim!

On a serious note, I do know what you mean. I had a 2006 Seat Ibiza FR (Fabia vRS 1.9TDI PD130) for a hire car a good few years ago and it was really fantastic to drive......so much so that I couldn't stop driving it like I'd stole it!

Although mine started out as a elegance pd100 estate..

...it is now specced higher than a vrs..with vrs or better upgrades on pretty much everything.. 130 asz engine.. hybrid garrett turbo.. vrs bumpers.. seats etc.. 312 + 256 brakes.. fmic and alot more styling wise..

Wow. That really is a vRS estate.

A very impressive bit of work.
