[wolfracepunto]

I have now! Think I PM'd her a while back saying something like you know you want a vRS (intead of Ibiza).... so she has sense

So now we have THREE red Fabia vRS's on the forum- dont forget ChrisUK

 

[serin]

bah, you wanna do what i do

have both

 

[Si]

and I'm converting from Fiat to Seat.

Yes I did weigh up the vRS but the FR drove better and the interior spec had more to offer. Plus the facelift looks awesome

 

[wolfracepunto]

Its on stilts Nah, I do like the look of the FRs on the whole just the rear 3/4 is a bit naff (I think the wheels are too far in the arch). I was looking at them this time last year, but the fact that the vRS is a Skoda and that only the right people know about them is (imo)

I dont understand how the FR drives better though. Theyre pretty much identical underneath

 

[Bob in disguise]

3 door chassis is more rigid

I drove the vRS and loved it but i didnt even bother with the seat cause i hated the interior and the dealer was a real snotty tw*t so i thought sodd it!

 

[black_cinq]

As long as no one gets a yellow bug i dont mind

 

[GhostWKD]

I been thinking bout lupo gti and bigi's for bit but kinda moved on from that

 

[Si]

I can't believe it...

All set to order an Ibiza FR then it was like Fiat again, dealer became an a**e!

Went back to test drive the Skoda which impressed me, dealer let me out on my own which gave me the opportunity to take it on a longer route. Had a good chat with the Sales Manager and now I've ordered one!

Bundle of options including leather interior

So how many owners have been converted?

 

[wolfracepunto]

*Pulls smug face* Think we have enough for a FF vRS meet...



Have you been over to briskoda.net?

 

[Si]

Nah I'll check it out though.

Think it was the leather option that swung it plus heated seats.

and prehaps the fact I had a huge grin on my face after leaving an X4 trailing

 

[wolfracepunto]

It leaves quite a few cars trailing The heated seats are amazing- take about 20-30secs to warm up. Did you get a good deal?

 

[Si]

vRS in red with ESP, Cruise, Heated Seats, Xenons, Side Airbags & CD Changer for £13K

Couldn't get the leather discounted as it's dealer supplied rather than factory fitted plus it's new option on the vRS. Thats costing £1300 but tbh I think it's worth it.

 

[Bob in disguise]

shouldve tried the 130bhp grande punto! or have you been put off fiat?

 

[Si]

shouldve tried the 130bhp grande punto! or have you been put off fiat?

Yes I did fancy the Grande Sporting JTD but the crap I've had with dealership and fiat UK over warranty issues, it has put me right off purchasing another one. Shame I'm hoping things will improve in the future.

 

[wolfracepunto]

Long wait for you then- 1st July??!! lol. Think I had mine by 8-9 weeks after ordering.

The waiting is ruddy horrible

 

[Si]

Hopefully the date will improve but I'm trying to avoid accepting the car mid way through the month and lose out on tax. Also gives me a chance to time the sale of my punto. Don't want to end up without transport!

 

[wolfracepunto]

Yeah good idea with the tax. I got mine on 25th May, but the tax runs out end of april Bit annoying but I didnt do anything about it at the time because I was happy Id got the car!

I sold the Punto with about 2 weeks to delivery, but my sister let me use her Clio for that time
