Well, this has now gone :
We needed a bigger car now as we are now a family, got a 5 month old daughter so had to get something large. We looked at various cars including a Mazda 5 Sport, but in the end we got a silly silly deal on the following :
07 plate Octavia vRS, leather, satnav, parking sensors. Tis awesome, 170BHP, 300lb/ft torque i think, it just pulls like a train So much more of a car the the fabia and its immaculate   Opinions welcome, i am well happy with it tho.

 I actually agree, i think its got optional 18" wheels and does look a little high, but it handles well when the ESP is on, turn it off and it is a bit wobbly.......

Nice, always likes these for some reason.
Had an estate going for it the other day behind me, wasn't what I'd call slow anyway.

Do they do the Octavia in a diesel like the Fabia, or just petrol?

I thought it was missing a bit too, however the dealer is insistant it isnt missing one. I have yet to see another one to check.
I got it for 12k, well sort of, it was more than that but they gave me miles too much for the fabia to bring the price down.

I'd be doing a bit of google hunting for a pic and take it into them. Be very surprised if theres not supposed to be a VRS badge or something there..
