I use to have a VRS, very sporty for a 1.8T. Just a small problem with rear leg room for adults plus mine had a few issue's with the ECU which never got sorted and in the end got shot of it.

Same reason why I got shot of the scoob and the sh!tron picasso, engine management problems all the time, and after spending a four figured sum and still couldnt solve the scoob problem, so I cut my losses got a purple bus that had the same problem and a problem with the kids having to wear wellies if it was raining because the back used to flood, cars eh? you win some you lose some.

Hmmm seems strange to go to a soul less car that can still be costly to run, agree the Picasso may have been a crap choice but hope you done the right thing, there are nice non turbo wagons you know that are still fun

It still does the job, gets me from A to B and I have a smile on my face, and sports wagon ummm no I couldnt not after seeing one in Roath today parking up and a woman in her 60's got out from it, no I couldnt do it. I wouldnt call it souless either, Im not looking for a rocket and yet again I have no quibbles I got a straight swap from where I got it from with no price penalties, its good to have someone in the know. Friend of the family who knows my situation, owns his own car business and does some good offers to all my family, where as if I went elsewhere, I would have HP and charges for setting up HP etc, they wouldnt do a straight swap, which this was was, right from the begining swap scoob for picasso and swap picasso for banana, no money involved, kinda like handing over pinks , but at the end of the day Beggars cant be choosers, and Im on the begging side.

Oh to have bottomless pits for pockets, then I might just get another scoob.
