Any 2.0 TDI RS drivers here?

[VRS-Vic]

Hi guys...Just wondering if anyone else here drives the Diesel RS here, or does everyone have the Petrol version?

I've seen a few of the sigs of some of our fellow users here with the words (V)RS and TDi in the same sentence. My dad was considering going diesel at one stage, and might've even considered the RS TDi, but went with a RS TSI instead, which, btw, is an awesome motor vehicle! < you'll find that I'll keep saying this, over and over, I just love the RS!

VRS_Vic,
Sorry but yeah I have petrol (lol I make it sound like a bad thing!). I originally ordered an Elegance 2.0TDI wagon, but found I could have an RS hatch (the boot is almost the same so I wasn't bovvvered) for only $1k more! I LOVE it!
I just don't like the dealer though...

I have an order in for the new Face Lift Octavia RS Wagon 2.0 TDI and pick it up mid September. I test drove most of the Octavia range, and opted for the TDI over the TFSI only because of the torque & economy difference - I'll be towing an enclosed bike trailer behind it, so it's what swayed me. Otherwise i think I would have gone for the TFSI - that had a sweet sound and very responsive - and the wife loved driving it also.

Like dazag I have just ordered a facelifted RS TDi Wagon, Black with manual box. Hopefully should be delivered mid September. I am looking forward to it.

You can probably tell by my username - yes you have one here.

I have a Racing Blue 2009 Octavia RS TDi DSG Wagon. Only 4 weeks old and bought from Richmod Skoda.

Must say I am rapted with it. I'm driving quite regularly between Melbourne & Mildura currently and the diesel is great for the trip and uses bugger all fuel.

Cheers

So Paul, getting any other options fitted to your RS??

I'm getting a Brilliant Silver coloured one - hides the paint chips etc a little easier then the dark cars ( I've owned mostly dark coloured cars so time for a change), with Tinting & tow bar.

Kind of wishing I had of got a quote on the Nav/DVD Stereo, after doing some research into it they are a good little unit. I can buy one from the US for around $630 USD, but unsure what maps etc would be loaded onto it. But would have been good with the inbuilt hard drive etc, and then connecting it into an extended entertainment system.

I do a little video camera/edit work with Dirt bike events etc, and i've been thinking the Skoda ads are crap, so been trying to work out something i can possibly shoot and edit that might be appealing and see if VW/Skoda are interested..... Might have to catch up with ya sometime Paul, put the Black & silver side by side.......
