“great value for money”

written by biffer on 22/09/2011

I part exed my passat 1.8 20v turbo for a 05 octavis vrs. Excellent value for money, reliable, quick. very suprizing for a skoda. Against the passat its alot quicker (however has same but tuned up VAG engine), better interior however passat seems more solid. Pros of the car is defently the performance reliability and cost. Sound system has a 6 cd changer but power and speakers are weak, would recommend to replace at least the speakers. Was going to buy a Golf gti (basically same car as vrs) but was twice the price of the vrs. I dont mind wearing a skoda badge to save £4000 over the vw! Recently got the vrs remapped and induction kit (only £300) and is 210bhp+ which is great fun. Is ok on fuel aswell cosidering performance. Will do 35mpg+ motorway and 25mpg+ round town which isnt too bad for a car with over 200bhp. I would defently recommend to others even if its just to experence the face on the BMW driver whos just paid £25000 for his motor and has just been blown away by a skoda!
