My mate with the garage has just bought a vRS last week and he says its superb :cool: He traded in his civic for it :p 130bhp and 40+ miles to the gallon can't be bad and he says it drives better plus has a better build quality than any of the new British built type R civics he's come across :DAND it doesn't look like a bread van :p:D:approve:
Sounds like he's got a Fabia vRS, they can easily be re-mapped up to 180BHP and are meant to be lots of fun. I've got the Octavia vRS and would recommend it to anyone. If you can see past the image, jokes etc, it's a great car that goes/stops and handles so much better than cars in its price range and it's even better with a couple of 'tweaks' here and there if you know what I mean..,....

Agreed TurboTaxi - Skoda's are good cars if a bit boring looking.
Seat also make good cars these days - the "hot" Leons look pretty good.
Not as stylish or fun as a MINI of course.
Of course, I really like the Mini but last week I 'built' my own Coopers 'S' on the Mini website and to have all the features my car has got it was over 18K and that was without the 'S'works upgrade or metallic paint!! Lovely motors but a bit on the expensive side.........
SEAT's are nice too but in my opinion having spoke to both SEAT and Skoda owners, many SEAT's don't seem as well built (rattles, niggly problems etc). I know that might sound silly coming from a Skoda owner but I do know of a couple of people who have chipped in their SEAT's to buy a Skoda!

The MINI will hold it's value better than a Skoda - check out the depreciation index in something like What Car.
Yeah, that's a fair point but (no offence) I don't really buy cars thinking of the depreciation value. If you are happy with the car and it does what it 'says on the tin' then I am happy. Not saying all MINI's have terrible build quality but I do know a few folk who have had nothing but trouble with them since they got them. My car ('52 plate vRS now on 21K mileage) has been back for a warranty claim once in it's life which was sorted out very quickly, this gives me more reassurance than the depreciation value.
Just my 2p's worth though.
Cheers
