Hello!

My names John, I'm 19, live just outside Aberdeen and I'm studying Electrical & Energy Engineering University.

I'm currently running around in my folks Golf 1.6 but have now been looking for my own car and I am seriously considering the Fabia vRS for many reasons ranging from; MPG, Speed, LOW INSURANCE, Looks and Safety/Build Quality.

Thanks!

buy one buy one buy one,thats all the advice i have.

Hehe, thanks guys. I will be looking for an unmodded one as I'm only 19 so need to keep the insurance down and then after uni I'll remap it..(that's the plan anyway). I have a post in the Fabia section of the forums called "Buying a Fabia vRS" or something so will see what I need to be looking for.
