VRS release

[pologti18t]

The black pack means all you have is the projector lights for low and high beam... The VRS owners on the UK Briskoda forum complain non-stop about the piss poor black pack lights.

What we get is the optional curve following projector upgrade AND the supplemental highbeam reflector. A much better combo.

I just used the german skoda configurator and specced a vRS to our specs... when converted to our currency its $27600.

Shame that the black headlights (available on the MonteCarlo edition) are not on the vRS - as it would look much better.

I agree and especially because the 'black pack' is standard equipment in the UK. Makes it look meaner IMO.

My brother has sold several already, including the one in the photo below which is exactly the same spec as the one that is used to advertise the Fabia vRS.

Noticed quite a few VRS on Carsales.
Looks ok in Red or silver.



Can't say I am a fan of the anthracite wheels (below)

But that's what I just wrote. They're LED DRL's...

i like vRS better!

Hey, just saw the brochure online on Skoda Au website.

The front fog lights are actually LED's!! Just like the Volvo's! DRL. So what you reckon if the police pull you over for having 'fog' lights on? How you your rest your case? ha!!!

the fabia vrs doesn't have foglights. they're DRLs.
but yes, good luck trying to explain that to the men in blue when they pull u over!!!!
maybe u can carry the brochure around n show it when necessary

Had a spin in a Fabia RS hatch today(Pennant hills Skoda), great engine,7 speed DSG doesn't feel as smooth as the 6 speed DSG in Occy RS, the ride was firm but comfortable over potholes. Sitting position is abit high, overall a very very fun car to throw around with, there was this I30 tailgating me and try to over take me over a take off. floored the paddle and , Bye Bye I30. Really rewarding car to drive.

But I reckon 34k for the wagon is a bit too much. Will prefer to pay a few thousands more for Octavia RS lift back.

Is it the vRS or the RS?

It's vRS in the UK where Ford bitched to Skoda when they trademarked it for the first-gen Octavia RS but everywhere else in the world (except NZ) it's RS.

vRS, that's why there is a GREEN V and silver RS

[sillyboy]

Just gave Frank from Pennant hill skoda a call, no Fabia RS in the showroom yet, might be another 2 weeks. I reckon sydney is always abit behind

They pay less in their own currency, we send stuff there because of their exchange dollar, which is something else, but makes it seem even more pricey here.

In NZ Skoda is brought in by an importer so very different story. Also their servicing is about a third of what we pay. So yes we are getting reamed with our servicing.

Maybe because they pay their people in NZ crap wages? Look at Fairfax and Qantas outsourcing Aussie jobs across the ditch. Only one reason, it's cheaper due to low wages.
