I think this little beastie should complement the Audi S3 that lives in the garage rather nicely.

Can anybody tell me whether the headlights are bi-xenon (Xenon on high and low) or simply xenon on low. I assume that they are probably the latter.

After attending the recent Audi drive day in Qld and doing a couple of hot laps in a diesel vRS with Jack Perkins at the wheel I must say these little cars go and go really hard. I was surprised.

Welcome, wow you seem to really like good-quality/tasteful/very nice cars! Mhmmmmmm S3 - very nice too! The new grey on the Octavia RS is very nice (makes it look even meaner!

) and the Xenon-ness extends to low beam only

I hope you enjoy it! Pics when it arrives please! Might convince me to trade in my 2008 RS...

My Candy White vRS Manual TSI Wagon arrived at the dealer today. They have to put the towbar on it and prep it, however I go overseas tomorrow for a month on holiday, so I cant pick it up until October 5!!

It was parked next to a pre-FL Yellow vRS. I am really happy with my decision to buy a new one as the pre-FL looked really dated in comparison to the FL parked next to it IMO.

Anyway, here is a photo taken from my phone.

I will detail it when I finally get it in a month and will post some pics with my thoughts!

I'm sure that somebody from the forum can drive it for you.

Congratulations anyway mate, nice car.

Thanks. We owned an Antharcite Porsche and a similar coloured BMW in the 80's and I really like the colour. It hasn't really been around on cars for the last few years so I thought I'd give it a go on the vRS.
