How long have you had your vRS?

Featured Replies

Just wondering as i've mine about 2 months now and to be honest I cant see myself getting bored of it.....

The more I drive it the better it feels!:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

15 months. Greta fun, not bored, but used to performance...

Great lil car... I love it... Esp. when all sparkly clean :)

Had mine for 17 months, still not bored of it after 37,000 miles.

However, as said, you do get used to the performance. When it was remapped, there is a huge leap in power - but again, after 6 months you get used to it again.

The vRS is a great car, could of happily kept it for another 18 months and kept the grin on my face, if only I didnt want to become a professional penny pincher... :rofl:

I bought mine in October 2003, kept it for 18 months iirc and sold it on due to personal circumstances rather than being bored with the car. One of the best cars i've ever had.

1 week, 4 days!

Love it!

4 months and 11 days - and 9300 miles :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Greetings Mick...

I'm on my second RS (04 model) and have been driving one since 02. Still love the car. I would love to get the new model, but present circumstances don't allow it.

Enjoy!

The best time in the ownership experience of a vRS is servicing time ;)

That's cos you get a 1.2HTP as a loan car :thumbup:

Then you get your car back and the OMG!! factor comes right back to you :D:D

4 years and 8 months... Not really bored but occasionally think about changing it for something else :D

4 months and the engine is becoming perkier everyday now revs to 4k and pulls well...only 3k miles done so far :)

Since last November, so 10months. Not bored at all, and recently told a friend that the car is for keeps cos Im well pleased with it.

Five years this month, usually never keep a car for more than two years and then they are sold, must be something about a Skoda..:)

2 1/2 years so far. I have to keep it for another 18 months to avoid paying import duty on it, but I intend to keep it for longer than that!

So far I've had this one nearly 3 years. It's got 124k on it and soon for an engine rebuild, not because it needs it but bigger turbo needed soon.

I want to see 200k at least. Not intending to get rid of it until it won't move at all, ever....;)

Octy 3 months, Furb 3 weeks :thumbup: Love them both, and the one I am driving at the time the most, if that makes sense. Threatened by swmbo that I have to keep them for at least 3 years :eek: I get itchy feet (always fancied a trike ala Billy Connolly), but can see the furb lasting that long and then some, the octy will depend on wether petrol prices get really stupid, think £1.40 - 50 litre would definately see it swapped for a 140 deisal which would be a shame.

I had mine for 4 years, never got bored with it, just fealt like a change. Now looking to get back into octy ownership.

Had the Octy vRS 4 years 18 days, and I still love it. Even more so now that those nice people at Awesome plugged my car into their go faster computer.:D :D :D

I'll probably keep it until the wheels fall off, which will be a sad day.

Had SWMBO's Furby vRS since middle of June this year and I love driving that as well. Probably get it re-mapped when the warranty runs out but I still think it's a great car as standard. We'll be keeping this one for a good few years as well.

had the furby coming on 2 years now (a few months to go yet :)) and will be keeping it for another 1-2 years at the very least.

My main concerns are (only in my head for now) that because of remap the car's turbo/clutch etc will begin to show signs of wear in the next 20k miles (car has 40k already) and things will begin to become expensive. a lot of the time i don't hang around either so that probably doesn't help.

2 years 6 months.

About 6 weeks and still love just getting in it and driving somewhere for the sake of it. Getting it remaped at the end of september so that will make the fun last even longer. I love this car and when the day comes to move on it will be for an Octy VRS.

Some people still wind me up about driving a skoda but once they've been in it they go very quiet indeed.

octy 2 yrs ... still loving it

furby 4 months ( ish ) .... love it

1 yr 7 months and 3 days, 29k miles on I'm still loving it. The suspension upgrades and rear ARB can cause a few suprises once you think you're used to the handling the back steps out (in a controlled manner) and heart races again. It's great coz it makes the car more fun as you learn not to get 100% used to it and to expect the unexpected every now and then.

Not long enough! Bought two months ago. Won't be on the road for another 3 weeks. Long story (nothing to do with the Skoda incidentally).

Octy VRS mk 1 for 4 months now,absolutly love it!Last car was a gutless 1.3 Hyundai Accent so i think itl be a while before i get bored(if ever) of the octy.

Had my Fabia for 15 months (yesterday!!). It'll do me until the warranty runs out and so I can build up some no claims.

After that its see you later Skoda!
