Funny you should say that - just been looking at them. Guy I work with has one, goes very well indeed!
For the love of God don't get an Octavia VRS!
They are terrible, small inside, uncomfortable, not especially well speced, apaulingly slow for a sports saloon (9.something 0-60) and have about half the cornering speed of the 330d, like understeer city, they eat front tyres (we've had them last less than 24 hours at work) and to top it all off the DSC box will not let you drive, even in full manual mode it wont let you hold the car at high revs it'll automatically shift up which is f*cking dangerous if it does it mid corner when your at or near the limit of grip.
