Hello! Bit of back story to begin with! I've always liked the look of the Octavia VRS from the Gen 1, not so much the Gen 2 (I think it was the headlights...) but as soon as Gen 3 came out I loved it's shape again! One of my best mates had a last Gen Fabia VRS with the DSG gearbox. He's a car fanatic and absolutely loved everything about it, but said the DSG gearbox was brilliant.... He's the one that made me think about pushing for the Octavia VRS with the DSG. I looked at the prices of the new and nearly new and thought they were well out of my price range but I thought a trip to my local Dealership for a chat wouldn't hurt. Two days later I'm checking my insurance to see how much it'll be to change from a 2009 Reg 1.7Tdci Astra Sports Hatch (current car) to an Octavia VRS....( It was amazingly £100 a year cheaper!!!) and today I went and put a deposit down on a (Demo) 2016 Corrida Red VRS TDI with DSG with 5k on the clock and the Black Design Plus pack!! I was shocked at the deal they gave me and the fact they were able to get to very very close to my budget really surprised me! (more importantly the wife said yes before I did!!) I'm nearly 40 and quite giddy with excitement at picking up my new car next week!! sorry for rambling on, I'm just really excited..ha ha... 

Welcome to the forum and happy motoring with the new vRS!  Nothing like the anticipation of a new car, difficult not to be excited

Good choice mate
