Newcaritus

Hi Guys, I'm seriously considering an Octavia vRS, and just wanted to say that these forums are a great help in finding out info

Currently driving a Pulsar GTi-R that will run 355bhp @ 1.4bar, and even though its untouchable, its 15 years old and I'm fed up with it. I run a second car for work due to the Nissans non existent mpg, but its time to grow up and just have the one car... and the best bet appears to be the Octavia Looking at a couple of 2002 models this weekend.

Only thing left to decide now is Yellow or Silver!

Go for the silver, it is easier to keep clean than the black. Doesn't look as good when clean (all 10 seconds with a black one ) but hides it better when dirty.

Thankfully it looks good in any one of the five option colours( inc white WRC).

Historically silver ones are slightly quicker top end and perhaps 0.5 to 1.0 seconds quicker 0-62.

Don't believe what anyone else tells you
