Here is a link to an earlier thread on the subject;- http://www.briskoda.net/forums/new-octavia/octavia-vrs-diesal-compaired-2petrol-vrs/83234/

and copy of a post I put on it:

"If you are thinking of changing what factors are pushing YOU to the vRS TDI?

For me, as I considered both before buying a TDI, they were (not that I had a vRS TFSI first mind you), in no particluar order;-

1. Lower CO2 emissions to give lower Company Car Tax - saved

Having one also myself I get 40mpg and a sturdy road holding car to boot, it isone of the best cars I have owned, I had also had the MK1 vRS and it is better than that & feels more solid.

Sometimes I actually think it holds the road better than my weekend Scooby, but it is a diferent car obviously.
