I remember ordering a brand new MK1 Octavia VRS hatch as a company car in '05. Was about £14K.

I don't know what they were when they were introduced though.

In 2002 it was £15,100 for a base vRS without options according to the price list I've got.

I had a 1999 Octavia slx tdi estate 110 bhp. Top of the range in its day(sunroof and aircon and 15" alloys;wow) and cost around 16k I think. 3 years servicing and unlimited mileage warranty with 3 yrs breakdown too.
It was a damned tough car and I think it's not selective memory when I say it was far superior to VAG offerings today.
But hey that's progress.

The public gets what the public wants... cuddly dashboards seem to be more important than actual engineering integrity to most buyers.
