If you dont mind me asking, how are you getting on with your VRS?
Im off to look at one next week, must say they hold onto their value rather well...
I love it...
Not super fast, nor particularly great handling...but it's unfeasibly easy to go quick in...with all that torque. Nice and quiet too.
It handles tidily (it will understeer and roll of course) and I wouldn't want to do a trackday with the brakes...but overall, cheap insurance, £115 per year road tax and 50 MPG for a car that will embarass VR6 Golfs in high gears, aint bad!
With a Tuning Box / Re-map they are very much quicker...
I bought it as a basic little run about, to save using my uncompromising GTI or the 911...and sadly, neither of the other two have seen much use since picking up the Fabia...it's just sooooo nice to drive.
Especially fun is to see how many 'faster cars' you can leave in a cloud of black smoke coming off roundabouts etc...much fun!
Standard vRS seats are a nightmare to keep clean though...so watch out for that.
The leather solves that...
The stereo sounds pretty good - loud enough for me...the CD player works, as does the cruise....everything just works as it should.
I never thought I'd ever buy a diesel car...but there you go...
I'm a convert.
For everyday use, I doubt I'd buy another petrol now.
I still prefer petrol cars as proper driving tool, but as an everyday get you from A to B in comfort, with little effort and without breaking the bank...they are superb.
Great little car for the money...and it really is cheap to run.
I love it...(the vRS that is)
