I dunno about buying one of the first few Demo's, after all they WILL be given a hard time !

Best ones to have mate, run in properly.

I dunno about the properly bit

At the end of the day was do you do if you go for a test drive without the dealer !

bit random but does it have an alarm as standard this time?

I don't like the new VRS front end. It all looks wrong. The OctyII is too grown up looking to carry off the 'dressing up like a teenager' thing. I'm sure it goes and handles like the clappers but it puts me in mind of those stupid bodykits in the MkIV Golf TV adverts. The VRS shape just doesn't lend itself to spoilers etc like the Octy I did so well.

The 'wolf in sheeps clothing' look is best in my mind for the OctyII.

The bodykit on the MK2 Octy vRS is IMHO subtle, slightly different front bumper, body coloured rub strips, rear spoiler and larger alloys. I like it a lot, in blue please.

Most of the MK1 Octy Vrs owners on here complain it doesn't look different enough!

Ok it's subtle but it doesn't come across that way when it looks contrived. I think the rear looks the part but i'm still not convinced about the front. It's that photo of the car going sideways that does it. Reminds me of a Toyota Avensis.
