|  hi..new octavia rs owner hi there, discoverd this site whilst trawling for excuses not to buy the bright yello octavia vrs..couldnt find any so here I am.. Iam not a stranger to skoda..used to have a 136 rapid that was done up with aftermarket alloys (harer to find than you'd think) and a works exhaust. that was a few years ago though..been running mercedes e230 coupes till recently..then I was offerd custard.. gosh these go a bit..a bit dubious about the build quality at first..some of the interior seems a bit cheapo (plastics) but beyond that Im reallt imrpessed. hope to keep you all informed about what happens next...... |

| Briskodian  | Welcome - I came from a 5 series BM, you're right interior plastics are not quite that standard but everything else more than makes up for it - speed, economy, practicality, low running costs etc etc. It was a wise move for me
