2002 Skoda Octavia vRS review from UK and Ireland
"Best car I ever had!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear wheel bearings replaced @ 98000 miles.
Front wishbones replaced @ 100000 miles.
Tyres replaced very often!!
Air breather hose replaced @ 97000 miles.
General comments?
Hugely under-estimated car! Powered by an Audi TT based engine, it's a great all round performer, handles well for a big saloon car, acceleration is tremendous (helped along by remap and hi-flow exhaust) - 241 bhp on rolling road.
Fuel consumption isn't great, especially if you have a heavy right foot, but it's worth it.
