vRS gets some good press in the EVO that just dropped on my doormat (issue 163). Feature is on "Q" cars so has the Skoda up against 550i BMW, Audi S4, Insignia Vxr and Jag XJ Supersport.

"The vRS must be one of the most popular pursuit cars and, driving it quickly, you can understand why ..

..despite being a large five-seater with a vast boot, the vRS weighs just 1360kg as a hatch (15kg more in estate form). It’s a true featherweight compared to the others in this test and, working in conjunction with that 206lb ft of torque and well-chosen gearing it leaves the Octavia vRS feeling very sprightly indeed. Some cars just feel effortlessly fast, in a way that even expert analysis of their vitals will never fully explain, and the vRS is one of those."

Nothing to do with Skoda letting an Evo journalist run an Octavia to 227mph at salt lake city??!!??!!
