    I'd have the vRS, Clio's too small for me

    Well, I think you guys have persuaded me!

    Skoda sounds like the best all rounder to me! I like the sound of variable servicing too, and the service costs seem very similar to the Clio.

    I'm going to have to start hunting. Unfortunately the colours do seem to be a bit limited!

    Thanks again for your input guys!

    If I was going for a Skoda vRS I'd be interested in one in the Bright Yellow I've seen them in, they looked Sharp

    Nah it's only ever worked for the SEAT - it looks horrible on both VW and Skodas IMHO.

    Well I think it works, but then again I am known for liking the more obscure cars and Ideas (I liked the old Multipa design!)

    The second one is a good car, It's fasterbabys off Briskoda. Already Jabba'd and very well maintained.

    No Sensei, i'm not kicking the mats to waste time, they have parted and I don't want to injure myself!

    Ant - go to WH Smith's and flip open the March 06 issue of Evo magazine at p105. Apart from wondering why the March issue is out in January, I noticed a small article on the vRS as part of Golf GTI v Focus ST head to head.

    Me paraphrasing the article:-

    "They make some postive and negative points about the vRS. Basically, a good car, rarely putting a wheel wrong, firm but good ride, unflappable, secure handling and long distance comfort, which is right because its a family car and a very good (German) one, but its not enough of an absorbing characterful or passionate fast hatch though (according to Evo)."

    Personally, I'd still go for the vRS over the Clio though, particularly if you intend to keep it for a couple years.

    Cheers David, I will go get it this weekend and have a read.

    I actually went for another test drive last weekend, and in the end, bought a vRS. I pick it up on thursday! I can't wait!

    Cheers guys, your comments were helpful!

    The Megane is also one of the few that can pull off the yellow!

    I hope you got a black one?
