Hi all, just introducing myself, I come to Skoda from living with a 2004 Mk4 Golf R32 DSG for the last 10 years, a very rare beast, and now find myself razzing around in a 2012 petrol Octavia VRS Tfsi DSG (I can only drive automatics now), a very yellow one, and am pleasently surprised to find it's pretty much a Mk4 Golf underneath, a platform I am very familiar with, being a mechanic and spending many years nursing my neglected R32 back to life.

I'm loving the Octavia, it's less focused as a driver's car as the R32 and the engine, although it soungs nice and gruff, is less pleasent to listen to, but it munches up the miles lovely and sparkles in the corners a bit too. Happy bunny is me. I hope I can offer this "club" some useful information from my experience over the years with this platform.

 

It's all about the getting there and not the destination for me.

 

Welcome, hope you can add some nice input to the forum with your knowledge 🤝

Hello Leezy, welcome to the forum.  

Hello LR - from just over the hill 

 

My last vRS was Sprint Yellow 😎  Great colour and never had any trouble finding it

Sprint Yello, so that's the colour. Yeah very easy to find in car parks, but attracts flies etc like nothing else I've ever had.
