Skoda Vrs? your opinions

A Skoda is a Skoda, is a Skoda??

Is a VW, is a VW, is a VW (that's what you drive!)

Is very good car, is a very good car, is a very good car

 

i didnt say a skoda was a bad car i said its a skoda and i dont care who owns them but its not a vw.

 

i think the police using skoda is a great endorsement

Vrs ironically targeted as a criminals' getaway car too.

 

But they are VWs.....

Fabia, Octavia, Superb are...Polo, Golf, Passat

The VRS Fabia is actually the most refined of all the 'Polos' as they have more sound deadening and insulation than either the Polo or Ibiza

 

Hate to admit it, but Skodas are good cars

That little Fabia vrs diesel is a hoot

 

The octavia vrs looks sweet. Dont worry about the image thing atall. Id drive one for the reason you said Tony20v, for the ultimate street sleeper. With a re-map, people wouldn't know what hit 'em.

 

quite liking the new octavia Vrs 2.0 tdi too as an affordable mk5 variant.

 

The newest Octavia looks the dogs cahones! Equally as good as the new MK5 GTi in my book! Remap and jobs a good'un!

My mate was on about either an Octavia or a Fabia VRS but saw sense and bought an Audi A8

TBH, even if the Skoda's came with 500bhp as standard and were 10 grand brand new, I still wouldn't be seen dead in one, regardless of weather they are part of the VAG group or not, they are still Skoda's at the end of the day And the interiors are horrible as well

Plus there is this disturbing similarity to consider..

 

the fabia vrs is! (about!)

 

OK, 5 grand brand new then

 

it is difficult for skoda to loose decades of bad reputation

it leaves them reliant on a niche of buyers

i guess the drivers of tomorrow wont know much different and see it as a reasonable car

 

How about a subtle de-badge..!

You could edit the sales pitch they use:

"its not a skoda... honest"

Until BMW went 'ugly' you could have stuck a VW or BMW badge on them and everyone would have believed it

 

Well i bought one a week ago and i think it's great. Nothing wrong with the interior, handling is fine, better than a lot of others on the market. Oh and by the way it looks buggar all like the Rover 400 series??? What's that all about.
Fast reliable street sleeper. Nuff said. I'm away to enjoy mine.

 

I'd have had one had it not been for the poor resale values. It meant i could get a bargain to start with, but it would have lost more than the Cupra R, which i got for a steal anyway!

 

i've been in the jbs octavia and man is it quick we were on a privite road at 130 and not even on boost sure i saw it nudge the 170 mk

 

I had an Octavia vRS for about 6 months. It was brilliant. The engine pulled beautifully (180bhp) and the handling was great. Very well put together too.

I also like the styling - the side profile in particular looks awesome.

I'd recommend one to anyone. Also the dealers are exceptional.

Do it!

 

I had a vrs fabia for 12 months and sold it lost 2k in that time and got a mk golf colour concept and there's only two word "build quality" mk3 is better only for the power so cant think how nice a mk5 is GTI is
