Do not be put off by the badge!
Nothing.
A mean looking car with mean performance to match.
Magic black is the colour to have, as the white and black seats have a strong contrast.
However, if you turn the ASR off, you will end up paying through the nose for new front tyres!

Great car - nice to have something more unique!
Faulty alarm sensor made alarm go off randomly. Fixed same day by local dealership (not the dealership I bought the car through).
Excellent compromise between power and economy. Using expensive "Ultimate" diesel, I can average over 60mpg on my 30 mile journey to work. More likely to get around 45mpg if I pushed it.
Pulls extremely well in all gears, except for 1st - as with most diesels, 1st gear is only going to get you moving before a change is needed. That's why the 0-60 time is not that great. I'm sure that it would beat many more cars on a 10-60mph race.
Slightly plain dashboard, but very comfortable car. Heated seats and sunroof are nice extras.

Best car I have ever owned
Nothing.
The car has been sensational.
I have had many company cars, ranging from a Jeep Grand Cherokee to a Vauxhall Cavalier, but have never had so much fun in a car as this one.
I have decided to buy my own car this time, rather than take a company car, and have not regretted any minute of this.
The car is excellent, and despite the stigma that other people seem to put on the car, I find myself proud to own a Skoda.
I have done only 3500 in the car so far, but every mile has been full of fun.
I cannot recommend this car strongly enough………….

"Post again at 300.000 miles!"
Be sure to send us any other comments the next time you visit the planet earth.
You can write a review on the Fabia Vrs after a 10 minute test drive. That's all it takes to realise why most owners feel like they have their own secret nuclear weapon. Torque, torque & more torque... and 300,000 miles later, you'll still be talking about how much torque it has.
Unique blend of driver appeal, fun and economy
No problems.
Fast fun & frugal. The VRS provides relaxed performance that's accessible on a day-to-day basis.
Good comfort and practicality for a small hatch, very good for a car with this performance.
Practical, but light coloured upholstery is not ideal for family use.

It's too soon, after 3500 miles, to get an opinion about so many aspects. Post again at 300.000 miles!
