Talking Hello - just bought first Skoda ...

Hello everyone,

This week I picked up a new Fabia VrS - silver !

I've had loads of cars including 7 or 8 Subaru's (in fact, still have a new model Outback 2.5 SE) and I'm very impressed with the Fabia.

It reminds me of my very first Subaru back in early 90's - one of the very first Impreza Turbo's in the country - except for the handling. The straight-line urge is irresistable and I'm old enough now not to bother about flinging it around corners on 2 wheels !

My VrS is absolutely standard. I'm not bothered about chipping it or modifying it (too old for all that....!) but the only thing I would like is cruise control which seems to be a bit of problem for the 05 models. Dealer in Bury couldn't (can't) fit it

Doing a search on this forum doesn't seem too conclusive so if anyone knows of a place where cruise can be fitted around the Manchester area I would appreciate details.

Anway, a bit long winded for the first post but - hello again !!

Thanks for the welcome !

I'm in a good position of having a Fabia VrS and a Subaru Outback.

A pretty perfect combination really !!

Looking to put some miles on the VrS for commuting along the M60 and keeping the Outback for family/rugby/kids/tip use (not in that order exactly.....)

Welcome

Once you have the 1000 miles run in, then you will really be able to see how flexible the little rocket is on the M60
