          Aside from that obvious error, $400 for a 15K service ? Its an oil change and once over. No wonder mines never been back to the "Stealership" !! Local workshop does it for about 1/2 that price.

              • On another note - the vRS Octavia has been released in Europe for a while now...

                Can anyone write what issues people have been having with them? Warranty returns, rattles, engine, gearbox etc. Would be great to know

                    • Caradvice.com.au has a few reviews on them, the earlier reviews were quite positive but read one recently against 5 other mid size cars and it didn't fair as well. I'd still lean towards one if ever wanted to upgrade from my Polo.

                      • Link me?
                        I would say to upgrade to the vRS Octavia after your Polo, what else would you look at? It's either a top line Yeti or vRS Octavia for me

                          I have noticed more recent reviews of the Octavia starting to become less positive. Early reviews were always 4/5 or 9/10.

                          (Vastly outweighed by the number of positive ones though!)

                          • New Octavia ....when? How Much?

                            Just saw this advert in Wheels, if the top notch Elegance with Tech Pack is $39k
                            How much would the vRS be drive away? $45k? It can't be $50k!!

                            • Probably $45k?

                              Elegance seems to have stepped up several huge notches in spec compared to my car. Pommies would call it an L&K

                              • the Elegance has more goodies/features than the vRS.

                                who knows where vw is going to price the mk3 vRS!?!?!?
                                here's hoping its favourable!
