  Skoda celebrates 20 years of vRS 16 Aug 2021 (News)
  While the Octavia was the first Skoda to wear a vRS badge, the Mk1 Fabia vRS, which went on sale in 2003, was the first hot hatch to get a diesel engine... Oh, how times change.

      What kind of fuel am I? I'm on the point of arranging to get a VW Golf SV on Motability, so I'll only have it for 3 years, but find it difficult to decide whether to go for the 1.4 TSI 125 petrol engine or the 1.6 Diesel. I've read one report that suggests the diesel on the SV is not much more economical than the petrol, but others suggest the diesel is far more economical. I would be grateful for your advice.
