Octavia VRS

[ST150HB]

Considering one of these to replace my current A4. A damn bit more practical and still looks pretty tasty IMO. Might be worth looking at a remap? My 2.0tfsi saw some impressive gains and transformed the car

ETA: didn't see you now have it up for sale! Keep us posted with the replacement...

I'm picking up a face lift VRS tomorrow in the same colour with the 2.0T FSI engine.....those MPG figures are very encouraging!!

Can't wait!

My 2010 2.0 TFSI vRS averaged around 33mpg in town, so you may find it's not as good as 39 mpg

I'd say 33mpg urban is good for a fairly big 200bhp car

As long as it's not below 30 I'm happy!

Coming from 7 years driving diesels I can't wait.

How come you are selling so soon?

Are the white seat bits dirty or are they actually grey?

They are a light grey from Factory.

They can be a nightmare to clean - mine temporarily went a light blue in places from cheap jeans.

In picture they also look dirty if the material hasn't been brushed the same way if that makes sense. It took me ages to do the interior pics when I sold mine.

I'd have another in a heart beat but I crashed it in some snow during 2010 and the repairing garage pissed me off so I fell out of love with it. Sold it to fund my wedding and a third motor bike!

Around town I'd be surprised if you got 30, my Mk5 GTI with the same engine only manages 25. You need to go on longer journeys to achieve mid 30s. Can touch 40 sitting on the motorway.

Motorways exactly where I do most of my driving.

I fancy getting another VRS . Had a PD170 VRS for 6 years and loved it but fancy a petrol estate next. I downsized to the Fabia VRS

Although the diesel takes some beating we have the CR170 in our family Superb and that can easily hit 50+mpg on a decent run and we have had as high as 62mpg on one trip

Got mine on Saturday, 300 miles in and it's sat at 35.4. That does include a 200 mile drive back from Reading though where I took it fairly easy, mixed with, erm, testing the performance.

It's got the TSI engine though.. (Which I didn't realise till I got it home). Not sure if it's better economy wise than the TFSI but I'm very much enjoying it so far.

Well tomorrow is my final day with Octo..
