Introducing our new vRS TFSi

GuyD · 24-03-2008, 17:37

We have just picked up our brand new Octavia vRS TFSi. Taken a road trip around the peak district and up to Perthshire in Scotland. Absolutely great car! I have attached a few photos.

Welcome to the club

It looks spot on, what have you moved from? How are you finding the performance of the TFSI?

GuyD · 24-03-2008, 17:57

Used to have an Alfa GTV - a lot of fun but not much in the way of space! Had to sell this a few years ago and haven't had a car since then (been commuting on a scooter since) so the vRS is perfect.

Performance of the TFSi is great - holds to the road and corners well and accelerates when you need it to. Only averaging 32mpg though although this will probably improve when we get a little less excited and drive a little more conservatively!!
