Vrs owners... age

[Twidle1]

Hello all and sorry to start a slightly personal topic but i only ever seem to see middle-age to older men driving Octavia Vrs's...

At 25 yrs old i cant be the youngest owner... can i?

I bought mine at 21 and am now 25, people do think they are a bit "grandad" until there in at and you put your foot down

Bought my vRS 6 weeks ago and I am 67 in September!  However, it is diesel and DSG.

I'm 24 and a bit of a baby face. A guy at work asked me if it was my dads car.

Bought mine when 21, now 23. I think they're a bit nature for majority of young people. I like the practicality though

Philbes,

 

look at it this way, you have probably been driving a number of years and also driven/owned a number of cars which just goes to show that a VRS is a fantastic vehicle as you have based your choice of vehicle on all your exprience !

 

Still blow away the youngsters in their Vauxhall corsas, put a smile on your face and go a good few hundred miles between tanks !

 

VRS - Best value mid sized family car on the market today by a mile !

43 and now considering a Fabia vRS which would end up being my 4th Skoda.

Maybe I'm too old for the Fabia!

36, bought last year but had Octavias since I was 30... More than happy too!

Bought mine last year at 24, now 25.

29 and have owned my vrs for a year and a half and love it!

[diveslob]

43. Love it. But then I'm a sensible petrol head. First love is still fast bikes though. .... and I only took up bike racing two years ago!

[Greybeard]

Born when Elvis was still able to swivel his hips, everyone despised the Japanese, and the original Triumph twins were the coolest bikes on the road so I guess that makes me middle-aged to older. The clock might be ticking down but boy is my insurance cheap compared to when Golf GTI engines only came in Golf GTI wrappers & I couldn't afford one, but I'm not a Grandad just yet.

 

Best value for money around, understanding that principle will see anyone smoothly through. 

 

I was 25 once though............had an Austin 1100 at the time

26 and have owned my Octy vRS for just coming up to a year.... Again I got the comments about 'pipe and slippers' when I bought it - but it soon shows it stripes on track and on the road when its required

[Blackline Stu]

Bought mine when I was 20 and I'm now 21. Think that I'm the youngest on the forum with a Mk2 Octy vRS. Or I was when I got it.

[IMT]

Mid 30s for me

[callaghan]

bought my first vrs at 21 and just bought my 2nd vrs bout 8 months back and im now 22!! got some abuse about it being a family car, but when they sit in,look at the spec,interior and when the shoe goes to the floor the opinions quickly change!!! call them a sleeper for the uneducated and badge snobs! ;-)

[Glynn]

Im 24 bought mine when i was 22. I get alot of funny looks in swindon most people my age here are driving in bloody corsa/astra vxrs!!!!

[Rob-vrs21]

Bought my 2011 mk2 fabia vrs at 19 had nothing but problems with it so rejected it and devided on a 2012 vrs tdi last year at the age of 21, ordered a mk3 vrs estate DSG Tdi about 4 weeks ago at the lovely age of 22

43, had the car since May last year and still drive it like I stole it most times I'm in it alone.  Love the torque of the engine and how well you can hustle it along B roads.

[Harry_vRS]

Bought mine new at 19, I'm now 26!

[james_19742000]

38 got my first vRS at 36, its a million miles from my Austin Allegro 1100 that I bought for £200 when I was 17!!! :-)
