Look for an Octavia Turbo 150 4x4.=20
Pro: It is a detuned version of the vRS, but takes the same chip, and=20 has the same exhaust/blower intake.
It will also chip up to 220BHP without grief, and is a lot cheaper.
Cons: Not easy to find in Saloon/Hatch, lots where estate only, but some=20 saloons out there.
Cloth only interior, not half leather.
16" standard wheels, not 17"'s and you don't get the nice green=20 calipers. No vRS body kit, though nothing to stop you fitting one. vRS owners say they have the suspension clearance of a tractor.Of course, all the cons can be pros after chipping, because it still=20 looks like a farmers car, but goes like a vRS.
Nothing that a little lowering won't sort.
Found this one as an example.
