|  time to replace octy mk1 vrs its time to replace my mk1 vrs which is remapped to 232bhp. I love this car, still enjoy driving it every day. however the missus has decided to breed again (ok i did have something to do with it.) and we are finding the mk 1 a bit tight on leg room especially. i have checked out the mk 2 octy and it seems alot better on leg room.. (i am 6.2 and so is my son who is 15). With my sensible head i have test driven a 2.0 tdi dsg elegance estate, ticks all the boxes, however i have decided i need leather hence l&k. but should i have a petrol or diesel vrs more fun (but no leather) briskodians please disscuss.

| Re: time to replace octy mk1 vrs I looked at the new vRS, but in the end bought a 2.0TDi Elegance. Do I miss the leather, no not really. You could get the elegance and spec leather although I am unsure what that does to the total cost.

| Re: time to replace octy mk1 vrs I drove someone's remapped Mk 2 vRS today - it blew my socks off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I drove a remapped MK 1 a couple or 3 years back and the difference between standard and remap was nothing like as pronounced. To quote: "You will do a sex wee" I very nearly did...

| Re: time to replace octy mk1 vrs Leather is a £1500 option including heated seats on the Octy II elegance las i looked. The VRS gets part leather with some silly mesh stuff in it. HTH

| Re: time to replace octy mk1 vrs Pjo Has a nice 2.0Fsi Elegance est with leather in black looks really nice,150bhp. Put then again a remapped Vrs is very appealing, how about a trip to Seat surgeons for a little leather work
