Yep 2.0 TSI engine 200bhp

The petrol is VERY rare in my experience. there were none for sale for months and months then the very day before i am due to view an Octavia VRS this came up online. i viewed it the next day. test drive, checked it out and bought it right then.

I wish I had 200bhp

Never really been a Type R fan, but have to say I absolutely love that in red with those wheels.

Never quite got the point of having a start button, and having to put the keys in the ignition and turn them to start the car. Looks good though.

Both my VX and S2000 have this.

My old MK1 Focus RS was exactly the same.

I still loved pressing the button though, big kid and all!

Hi, a start button is a very useful extra, especially with keyless entry. Means I don't have to fumble in my pocket for a key or fob...

RenoRanes007 · 15 Sep 2013 at 12:49

Yes that is true, the keyless entry and start/stop is great on my Audi... however they are talking about cars that have a start button but still require you to insert the key into the ignition and turn it which really is pointless and just for looks.

It works great with keyless entry but not so much when you have a key and then have to press the button.

lol the CRZ is like that, key in the ignition then foot on clutch then button.

I always wonder what would happen if someone throws the key out of the window when I am driving along...

I put it to the test once, started the car with the keys in it, then my friend walk out with the keys and I drive away. The car actually works and didn't beep/alarm. I didn't go too far though but it was certainly outside the normal range for the keyless entry sensor to work.

S2000 had it for when on track. Spin and stall = easy engine restart

Yes it is useful for this, not that I spin anywhere lol.

Also you can't remove the key in the current "on" position as if you turn it down to remove it turns the engine off.

Hi, I'm not sure what you are trying to prove really. Of course if you leave a car that has a start button with the keys in your pocket the engine will keep running. It's just the same as leaving the car running with the keys in the ignition, only with a start button once the car is stopped it will not restart. However with the keys in the ignition you can do what you like. So the issue is never leave the car with the engine running, full stop. Having said that mine bleeps several times and warning message comes up with something like 'no key detected in the vehicle'.

I get a message and a warning beep when my keys are outside the door!

Joe T · 18 Sep 2013 at 11:51

^^^^ This. Most cars will warn you if they do not detect the key in the car while the engine is still running.
