| Changing times Hi there i'm just wandering if any guys have swaped from an octy vrs down to a fabia vrs? I'm fast approaching a new job which is going to involve some fairly galactic mileage and am toying of changing to a diesel but want one thats fun - hence fabia vrs :-) Anyone made this move?? - thoughts.... My other choice is to swap my father for his mk4 golf pd150......

| Furby vRS should be pretty good, it's not as fast as the Octy vRS probably but it should be economical on longer journeys. It all depends on how you drive - the Octy vRS should be pretty decent at constant, motorway speeds, but it would be worse in traffic jams. There have been a fair few who've made the move. I'd try to get a test drive arranged and just take it out on the motorway, see what you think. It's not too bad

| Why not get an Octy with the pd130 lump? Or even an Octy 2 with the 2.0 TDI?

| Local Skoda dealership have offered me what i think is a very very good deal on a fabia vrs and they look cute so i've been tempted The octy's ok on mileage but not as good as the fabia although it told me i was doing 41.1mpg the other day (grandpa driving) Don't like the seats in the standard octy and the octy 2 ones aren't great - girlfriend got splatted against the passenger window a few times on the test drive - does handle thou
