Hi all,

Been browsing this site for a while as i'm thinking of getting a Fabia VRS when ive finished uni in about 18 mnths. Decided it seems like a good place to be and so joined up.

Here are my 2 babies at the moment.

My daily drive the fez, at the moment shes soaking up 80miles per day. and is so much fun to drive.

lowered 35mm on Koni springs and dampers, front upper, lower and rear strut braces, Janspeed cat bk exhaust, Escort cosworth front brakes, and O.Z super'ls.

and this is Jordan no - 163 (hence the username) these pics were taken befor i purchaced her.

Just got BMC induction kit DC 4-2-1 manifold, decat and Magnaflow cat bk exhaust. ( NOT powerflow )

I like the honda.............

the vRS is a good car, but don't expect skoda to honour the warranty, even if you don't modify it!

Don't pee on his bonfire:rofl:

the Fiesta looks nice, but is far too silver.

Honda is Japanese for fridge.

Buy a Fabia vRS, don't mess about with it, just enjoy it for what it is.

Reasonable performance, decent economy, and well built, all at a favourable price.

This isn't an advert btw.

I have yet to find a comparable car.

Small sporty diesel hatch...

Polo too expensive.

Ibiza feels too fragile and cheap,

Ermm, that's it.

A couple more pic's i've found in the depths of my laptop. Please note these images of the Jordan do not show a the true colour. The first images are much better in terms of colour.

And a poor quality vid just to give you an idea of the sound of her.

That is a nice sound!

well worth considering, as the old styley goes out in May, and the new styley comes in... I want to get shopping around May, there's gonna be some bargins to be had I'm sure

Thinking... I can then upgrade from my wonderful and fabialous 1.4 16v, to the vrs, or I'm considering sticking with the petrol, and might ask banks to let me go for the new 1.6 16v, sounds tempting with the 6 speed tiptronic. C

I don't mean to add to the wii ing on your bonfire, but make sure you check out the threads on the fabia vrs stutter in the Fabia section of the forum.

Just so you can make an informed decision

Yea thanks for that ^

am i right in thinking its just the 2006 vrs's that suffer from this??? has the problem now been sorted???

I believe there has been a couple of 55 plate ones suffering too. There has been a fix put out to the Dealers, it hasn't completely cured it but it's less obvious. skoda are now calling it a phenonemen because of strict emissions laws so basically washing their hands of it in my opinion. See the email i received the other day in the thread that details the fix in the fabia section, I believe it's been made into a sticky now

I have an 06 vrs and had the fix recentely. It has improved but was never that bad. I love my car but just not Skoda UK's attitude

Wow, i really didnt relise it was that big a problem! and more so that it has still not been properly sorted. It jus seems madness!!!

definatly having second thoughts as am wanting a car that will be no more than a yr old. And i know a stutter like that would just annoy the hell out of me.

I think from reading the stutter poll thread people are experiencing different levels of annoyance or their tolerance of it is different to others. As i said, mine was never that bad. Maybe you should have a test drive of one with a fixed stutter before you decide not to get one, or indeed before you get one. Not all people have suffered it.

It would never cause me to sell the car because of it, it's just a small niggle in the grand scheme of an otherwise fantastic car to me. I just think it's fair that you should know if you are going to be shelling out your cash. You can bet that skoda wont be telling people who order them.

I asked, and they said it was fixed. If it's not, then I'll park the car in the showroom

Hi Alex

Very nice Fiesta there! I have a rather old Vrs now 03 plate and I have to say that it great.

However don

Cheers for that pixi!!! i think i will definatly test drive a couple. I'm just wondering if the 07 cars will have the same problem???

Thanks for your comments Tony!!! I think a few long test drives are in order!

thinking of getting a Fabia VRS when ive finished uni in about 18 mnths.

Blimey! All I could afford when I finished uni was a weekly season ticket on the train - all right for some, obviously... :(

Welcome to Briskoda, though! :wavey:

Just buy one, no need to modify just drive and enjoy. Stourjohn.

As Stourjohn says - no need to modify, just drive and enjoy.

A seriously fun fast motor.

I'm still at uni...

but I do work practically full time!

Same ere Babs
