Bought my 61 plate '12 Octavia VRS privately recently after looking for a Scout for a long time. No regrets as it's great fun to drive (despite the tooth loosening stiffened ride), but I hope the electronic differential control delivers when ice/snow comes around.

 

A warm welcome to the Forum !

Thank you. Given how trouble free my VRS has been since I bought it recently, and likely to be in the future, I don't expect to spend much time here. Just nice to know where to go if and when I need to.
