Bojmobile 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Very nice loving the interior 8) 8) My mates got the same model with blue interior. I wont mention what happened to his DSG gearbox-----------just say horror story!!!!!! I thought the VR was thirsty too until he started having fun with launch control.!!!! :shock: :shock: Yeah there are a fair few DSG horror stories going about. I actually find the fuel consumption pretty good - I think that when it's in Drive mode it's short shifting lower down the rev range than you would if you were driving manually. I find I'm getting more miles in the TT than I did in the S3 - but then I did have to scream about in that to get any engine note! :D Good to hear from you "too hot" - did your mate get the DSG problem sorted? Does he still have the car? Graeme (macscorcher) is taking good care of the VR - sent me some nice photos of the old girl. Still looking good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vmax 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Hello guys just spotted Glen had updated this thread ! Thought id say hi as im the new owner of what seems to be a well known VR6 ! Loving the car so far ! Makes me enjoy driving again after 18 months with a Fabia VRs ! Graeme Was the VRS really that bad?! I had thought of one at one stage but from what I saw they all had really light coloured interiors, which is a recipe for disaster with a dog that likes to seek out mud at every opportunity! Bet the VR6 sounds a lot better anyway, used to love the sound of that engine 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macscorcher 0 Posted October 24, 2009 VRS had its good points, mpg, surprisingly quick in a striaght line, very comfy and great for long journeys but absolutely no soul to it, no sense of excitement or occasion, very rarely put a smile on my face never seemed to be exceptional good at any one thing more adequate at all things ! The standard brake set up was shockingly bad and the handling never inspired confidence esp not in the wet despite me trying various different brands of tyres ( which it went through A LOT OF!) LOTS of understeer along with not a lot of steering feel and a very twitchy unpredictable rear end if you tired to do combat the understeer. All round a very unsettled feeling car that didnt live up to its hot hatch promises. Also have to say not what id call the best built car ive ever known ! Feel much more confident and have much more fun in the now 128k 16 year old VR6 than i ever did the low mileage 3 year old VRS ! Have to admit thought that the 'sports grey' seats were actually really hard wearing and very easy to clean ! LOL Graeme Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
