I test drove a VRS today and I was very impressed. The drive was effortless and had the car for nearly 45 minutes testing it. The dealer just threw me the keys and said "take as long as you like". So I did! They are not as quick off the mark as my cup, but they really storm through the mid...

I had thought of that. My car cost me 10K when I bought it and it is 16 months old and done 15,000 miles now. I bought it at 12,000 miles. The Fabia I have seen is for 9K and absolutely in mint condition. I do about 1000 miles a month, give or take a little. The odds are stacked towards the...

I think I will see if they will let me use the car for the day. I have always liked the Fabia VRS and almost got one in feb. But the big kid in me won and I got the Cup instead. I looked at the Octavia, but I woul not save in fuel costs. I am trying to cut down on spending on fuel. I have...

I purchased my cup 3 months ago and really love it. But with fuel prices going up, I have looked at a VRS and they are very nice. They can be chipped and modded to 180bhp with 305lbs of torque for very little money. Plus the insurance is cheaper and I would get double the mpg in the VRS. But...

Totally agree. Roundabouts, do people actually know how to appraoch them and what lane they are supposed be in? Really makes me cross when they cut you up!! Normally it's white van man that does it!!!:mad:

you have got the right idea mate:race: You learn alot on the skid pan and how to tell what sort of a slide is happening and how to recover it. Plus, you get taught how to really drive. As the basic driving test teaches you the very very basics.

As far as i am aware. ESP works by a combination of throttle control and brakes. It basically senses the cars intended direction and the actual direction it is going. Then by adjusting the throttle position and applying the brakes indepedantly. It moves the vehicle back onto the correct...

Dave, best thing mate is to drive to the conditions. If its wet then brake early. All the driver aids that are on cars are okay. But I think the best avoidance system is the driver. Electronics are good, but I would rather rely on my skills at avoiding a situation, than the skills of the...

Im 26 and got my 182 cup fully comp for £600 from Norwich Union Direct. Have you tried looking on confused.com?

If you are going round a corner and the esp lights up then you are taking the corner far too quickly. The car will be out of balance and thats how come you see car size holes in hedges!! If you are taking a right hand bend to quick, all of the cars weight and grip is transferred to the front...

The price, for all things mentioned in the above posts!!!

I had a set of Toyo T1R's on my FRS and they were really good. They had more grip in the wet than my original Michelin Pilot Sports had in the dry. The Eagles are good also, we use them on our works cars and grip well and last long. It is really down to personal choice. Some people slate...

I bought mine from Autobulbs Direct Ltd on the net. They gave me a really good discount and arrived next day.

What i would do is do what i have done to my 182 cup. I put the phillips gt150 light bulbs in and osram +50% brighter aswell. These improve the lighting by almost a further 30 metres. Plus it lights up the road in front of you aswell. I like you do a lot of driving down back roads and country...

How can fogs improve visibilty? Where on the road do fogs shine? 100 yards down the road or right in front of you. If your fogs improve visibilty then I suggest you turn on your main beams!!
