To be honest - I don't see the newer shape Octovia 170 Vrs diesel as a fair comparison to the ZS 180 either.

They are miles away from each other cost-wise with Mk2s now swapping hands for £1200 on the bay and £2K tops for a good one from an enthusiast seller. Cheapest you'll get a 170 diesel Vrs for off the bay is £5,500 and it's an 07 with 138K miles. Ofcourse it's gonna be better specced etc ......

The op compares the first Vrs in terms of power, handling and fun etc and the ZS stands up well. In practical terms - never gonna be fair comparing a saloon to an estate, but hey, we all know that.
