Another which car thread

Thought about a Octavia VRS derv? Look nice, get better toys than a Audi/BM of its age and go better than the petrol VRS.

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.

And this is coming from the man who has just recommended a 300C......
Anyway, Vaughan doesn't drive like a loon everywhere or reverse into everything. And even brand new, they are well spec'd. My old one was 16k and had loads of toys considering the money. Great car for the money IMO
Oh and they tripod nicely!
