    My brand new Skoda Fabia vRS.

    Ordered off the internet & delivered to my works address on the back of a low loader. Had to wait 11 weeks for it [:s] (factory order).
    Fantastic to drive & the engine is still tight. Can't wait to get it run-in! :)

    I like the fabia, my sis bought a new 51 plate 1.4 mpi and absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it ever, even after she drove it into the back of truck requiring a new front end and radiator.

    Does the vrs have the standard suspension set up? I reckon this would need sorting as its a bit floppy for hard use, but i guess it might have the polo gti set up?

    The vRS has stiffer & lower (by 15mm) suspension than standard Fabia. Feels pretty solid, but I haven't given it any 'spirited' driving yet! :lol:

    Unfortunately, I had to sell the SEAT back to a dealer. I was running out of time, but still got a decent price for it.
    The vRS is a far better car.

    Don't like the look personally, but for price/performance it's a bargain.

    Need to let us know how it goes when it loosens up a bit ;)

    Yeah, it's nice & torquey from new.
    The only thing I've noticed is the gear stick rattles when the car's idling, but I'm told is disappears with more miles on it.

    Nice car by the way! :thumbup:

    It only does it when in neutral & if you push towards the gate of 3rd, it will disappear.

    Any mods on yours?
