Forget anything about its other merits but consider this.

Took our Sept 04 54 reg in to the garage for quote against a low mileage Octavia estate

Paid £11800 when new ,offered £10000 p/ex.

Having spent in excess of £600 a month on fuel the vRS is saving me nearly £400 a month (lower servicing costs etc) - a bit of which can go on to mods for the Scoob

That's because you are poor.

Personally I'd rather spend a few quid on something enjoyable.

Stereotyping at its very best

Rabid,

I agree, however many other things in life are enjoyable other than cars and unless you are a lottery winner you cant really do them all, I for one dont want to run a car that soaks up 25% of my income every month, hence why I dont have a Scoob.

To be honest Rabid, that kind of response by you speaks volumes. No point in discussing that comment with detail...........

If a few hundred pounds a month isn't much to you then that's fine, for alot of people it is. I probably am poor though considering I have wasted £30000 on cars through depreciation in the last few years and £5000 was lost in 6 weeks once........so yeah I probably am poor if the definition is someone who is losing a great deal of money........... Not any more though.......

A friend of mine once had £27k to spend on a car and decided against our advice of a 2nd hand 911 at the time, as he "wanted a new car"... so he wisely bought a Fiat Coupé Turbo, which is now worth about a quid. I think the Porsches available at the time are selling for the same money still!
