Thought it time to put a thread up on the vRS.
After having a Pug 206 GTi since 09 (great car and for sale if anyone is interested) it was time to update, mainly due to having a 2 year old running around. Having to lift him in and out of a 3 door whenever I didn't want to / couldn't use the mrs Elantra and having a dodgy back was no fun at all.
First choice was a Liberty, Mrs hated the look so that ruled them out. That put the XR5 turbo at the top of the list, unfortunately whilst it sounded and went brilliantly fitting a baby seat and a stroller plus associated stuff it simply didn't work. Not to mention the complete lack of tech. In this day and age how Ford can get away with offering so much less for the same money is beyond me. No cruise is just a joke on a car in this segment.
The Golf GTi was better (practicality wise) but the prices asked compared to what I was willing to pay didn't work.
I'd always had a thing for the Skoda, I blame the TDF for that, so when I saw they were at the money I was willing to fork out it was as good as a done deal. Well apart from actually finding a good one for sale.
But a few weeks later one that fit the bill did pop up, and here it is.
A MY11 liftback. Racing Blue, 6M and stock as they come with 53k on the clock. The only reason it was up for sale was because the previous owners wife had just got her licence and needed an auto (he went on to buy a new Superb), it was actually listed here too.
Here's some pics of how it was when I got it back in September (not much has changed lol).
