    They pay less in their own currency, we send stuff there because of their exchange dollar, which is something else, but makes it seem even more pricey here.

    It's vRS in the UK where Ford bitched to Skoda when they trademarked it for the first-gen Octavia RS but everywhere else in the world (except NZ) it's RS.

    i like vRS better!

    Hey, just saw the brochure online on Skoda Au website.

    The front fog lights are actually LED's!! Just like the Volvo's! DRL. So what you reckon if the police pull you over for having 'fog' lights on? How you your rest your case? ha!!!

    Had a spin in a Fabia RS hatch today(Pennant hills Skoda), great engine,7 speed DSG doesn't feel as smooth as the 6 speed DSG in Occy RS, the ride was firm but comfortable over potholes. Sitting position is abit high, overall a very very fun car to throw around with, there was this I30 tailgating me and try to over take me over a take off. floored the paddle and , Bye Bye I30. Really rewarding car to drive.

    But I reckon 34k for the wagon is a bit too much. Will prefer to pay a few thousands more for Octavia RS lift back.

    Noticed quite a few VRS on Carsales.
    Looks ok in Red or silver.



    Can't say I am a fan of the anthracite wheels (below)
