| Re: New Guy ! Good choice. Only problem which is common to the vRS is a coilpack failure in the early ones. I had all 4 replaced as a matter of course. Other than that the usual Octy lookouts apply.

| Re: New Guy ! Hello Ste Welcome to Briskoda  I would think there would be quite a difference between the two(apart from the obvious gearbox) .The vrs is very "tunable" so why not get yourself a test drive and see how it feels? I am guessing but i think you will be won over Tank |
