Hi everyone, my wife's finally convinced me that the two of us don't need a Passat any longer. Although it's only a humble 1.8S (1999) it's given me 100k miles of pleasure with only fair wear and tear bills.

I'm off to test a Fabia vRS tomorrow, but this "stutter" problem has got me worried. More from me later.

Hello and welcome to the mad house:wavey:

Welcome to Briskoda.

Welcome

Don't worry the stutter (when I had a VRS) was un noticeable. Depends how you drive it but you do get used to it.

Also think off all those extra MPG matched with that extra performance

Hello and welcome

Thanks for that warm welcome guys and gals. Delivery on my vRS Fabia is mid Feb and I can't wait. It'll be great to drive something that can go round corners better than an armchair (it's amazing what you can get used to )

The thing that's worrying me a bit is my wife's right foot. A lot of the time I feel that she thinks the gas pedal has only two positions - ON or OFF

It does, doesn't it :confused:

Enjoy your car, I certainly still do after 6 months.

Welcome to the site.

Heave you tired taking the heavy metal from SWMB's shoes, so it doesnt press the pedal down so quickly.
