This is why market research is such a vital business tool.   Skoda are a bit dumb, they had a winning recipe, then they had to add a silly gearbox and a twitchy petrol engine to it.    They should

Dear Mr Porsche.   I must take issue with the appalling fuel consumption of the Carrera S I recently purchased. 18 mpg is simply not acceptable in everyday use, particularly with little Timmy’s scho

Sorry Grrr but i disagree with a lot of what was said above, not from the point of view of the VRS longevity in the marketplace, as I suppose the writing is on the wall there and that will be down to

If a diesel MK ii VRS had been available I am sure things would have been very different!

 

 So, does this mean if you have a MK ii VRS it will now become more desirable as it will be rare? maybe?

Starting to feel like I own a piece of history now.  Shame, they could have done great things with a mkiii I reckon.  Hopefully a last hurrah is in order.

Interesting the car that's most like the mk1 Fabia VRS is blamed for killing off the Fabia VRS...

To me the Monte with the 1.6 diesel is more like the earlier VRS than the later one ever was.

 

So maybe they should have just carried on making a Fabia VRS using the recipe that was proved to be successful !!!

You have to wonder sometimes... :wonder:

our car gives great mpg, high 30's on the short town trips and long journeys are as good if not better than the diesel Yeti, on track it does about 17 mpg but what do you expect?

Hmm, not happy with that comment. "And anyway, if you really want a vRS, get an Octavia." 

Not the same at all...

Seems similar to a microsoft one recently about the Xbox One being an always one device...  before they back tracked.

 

This commetn isnt too bad.

"I have two concepts in my mind that aren't cabriolets or two-seater sportscars. But that is all I can say for now."

 

So I will probably try and grab another Fab VRS in Jan when my contract is up, then see what happens in the next few years...

Plenty cars in hatch or estate about now to last a few years if anyone is wanting to buy one.

Prices very low for some wanting a bargain.

 

The story will becoming more public anyway about how Skoda treated some customers that got the cars with faulty engines,

even the revised version brought out late 2012.

& how they are still treating some customers with car with long Warranties.

 

The future engines and cars that Skoda Build can change anyway they like,

they are not going Rallying with 1.6 Turbo R5's without getting lots from the  publicity as the new cars arrive,

maybe they will Rally with the Engine in a R5 Rapid & do a Rapid vRS for the public.,

PS, if Doctor Vahland did say what the article said about the vRS not selling in Europe outside of Britain & the price,

i wonder why no mention of Australia and Importing them there and pricing them to not upset VW.

 

If Doctor Vahland did make the 'and anyway if you really want a vRS get an Octavia' comment, she is probably

not going to be CEO for long with an attitude like that.

? Is Doctor Winifred Vahland maybe Jeremy Clarksons sister or just his alter ego.?

 

SORRY< Dr Winifred Vahland is male. DOH.

MC + remap = Mk2 diesel VRS ;)

 

IMHO of course :)

 

To be fair, only owned my 105 for a couple of days but spools up nicely from 2K and you're suddenly going a lot quicker than it feels that you are

 

Drop it a few more mil , remap it to 130ish and maybe stick it on 18's and you've got the makings of a proper Q car
