| Never driven a CTR although I do know that car's excellent reputation. And from all the noise made on this forum it would seem that the Fabia vRs is also an excellent car. Why not test-drive one and see what you think. In the meantime, welcome.

| I think the simple answer to your questions are:- Cheaper Ins & Better Economy ? - YES Will You miss the ctr ? - YES initally, as the Furby is a different driving stlye to the ctr. Advice - Test drive one first and see if you like it. ( it is not to everyones taste - but it caters for most  )

| You wouldn't be the first to make the change in the name of economy - a few ex-Scooby drivers on here for similar reasons!

| Briskodian |  Went to test drive a 2nd hand Fabia VRS today, not bad, not as exciting as the Type R but as a small family, it was adequate. But the Salesman manager give me a trade in value of £6k!!!! what a bloody joke!!  Now im going to sell it private and should get around the £8K - £8.5K. I just believe it, the salesman try to precede with the sale as normal, how would u be funding the rest fo the car!! you must be joking u ****!! So my idea of being a VRS owner maybe short lived!!! |

| If you are selling privately, why not buy privately too and save yourself the dealer's profit margin?
