Diseasels have their place, but not in a car with RS, ST, etc badging............

 

RS works, (just) on a sporty Octavia, but would be better with a proper RS powertrain,as has been suggested recently on this thread, but wouldn't sit well on a Superb or Kodiaq.

Same logic applies to the baby cars, including a GTi Polo.

Couldn't agree more. 

 

vRSs should be petrol & ideally Octavias. 

 

Fabias, like Polos (GTI, really?), don't really fit with the vRS ethos IMHO. 

 

Equally, the threat of a Karoq vRS makes me shudder. 

 

For the quicker diesels, how about vRD, as in GTD?

 

At least we'd all then know what was under the bonnet of the cars we see out there - without having to look for fake exhaust outlets!

Just placed an order for a 245 in meteor grey   got a pretty good deal on PCP & got the price down by 700 odd pounds over the list price

 

Only downside is delivery time is currently 15 weeks!!!

Should have used Carwow, 700 quid ain't a lot of discount, its worth the wait though great car & the seats are oh so comfy

I bought my Pre Facelift 230 from a Main Dealer on a PCP and got 17.5%  knocked off the list price including the bits I added

Yep +1 for CarWow.    There is absolutely no downside I can see if you are happy to deal with a dealer that isn't on your doorstep. As there isn't a Skoda dealer within 17 miles of where I live it was a no-brainer for me.

On the standard FL VRS are the decorative inserts still faux carbon like the pre FL?   

[SC03OTT]

my "pre" FL vRS has piano black inserts, didn't realise there was a faux carbon option?

meant to quote pre FL!

[Auric Goldfinger]

My pre face lift 230 has piano black inserts, my pre face lift Tdi vrs had the carbon look

Intresting, the FL 230 Vrs, according to the brochure, has Carbon effect inserts only the FL 245 gets Piano BlacK

 

Do you have the Black pack Plus option fitted ?

Bonus for me then getting the 245 as I didn't like the carbon in the pre FL I test drove. Matter of personal taste obviously.

On the price and discount aspect, these boys are reckoned to be very good.  As a Motability customer, I haven't used them but I've heard good reports from people I know:
