Scirocco Central

I also had a white Mk5 GTI DSG.I now have a white Scirocco with DSG.The Scirocco feels a fair bit quicker to be honest.Between the Golf and Scirocco i also owned a new shape S3 and i prefer the Scirocco to that too.It just feels special,i know that sounds a bit airy fairy but it's true! :) I have th...

The other day i noticed the 'leather' were the handle is to tilt the seatback is in fact vinyl.The edge has come adrift and i keep having to poke it back under the handle.I knew the seat sides where cloth,which is bad enough but it smacks of over-enthuisiastic cost-cutting :grumpy: I wonder if they ...

Just back from a cross country 550 mile round trip.Averaged 29.5mpg doing fairly sustained 'press-on' driving so to be honest it's just like any other two litre turbo petrol car i've owned.I should have learned to take these 'average 38mpg' claims with a huge pinch of salt!I think these days it's a ...

I chose white and really think the car suits it.I know it's very fashionable at the moment and is likely to become equally unfashionable in the future but i think Volkswagens and the coupe variants imparticular have always suited the Alpine/Candy white.I'm on the hunt for 19"BBS alloys to go on...

I got my Scirocco at the beginning of October.When collecting the car i asked if the 'two' leads where in the car,having read here and elsewhere that both a USB lead and i-pod lead should have been delivered with the car.Anyway,no i-pod lead so the salesman said he'd look into it.Firstly i was told ...

That's very interesting to read.I've owned lots of 'sporty' cars (mainly VW) over the years,most recently a new shape Audi S3.The power advantage over the Scirocco (60 bhp or so) is not that obvious.I thought maybe it was just my perception,and the fact that between the Audi and Scirocco i owned a d...

I went to my supplying dealer,Warrington Volkswagen,today to buy the mats and boot liner when the guy on the parts showed me a wheel that had just come through on the system for Scirocco in 19" fitment at £300 each without tyres.Nice looking wheel,only had a quick glance but reminded me a littl...

Thanks bud.Yeah i'd seen those on ebay but thought they wouldn't be much good 'cos they're so cheap.Maybe worth a punt then,shame white isn't one of the trim options.

I collected my Candy white with truffle leather,DSG,Dynaudio and parking sensors on Tuesday.Totally overjoyed with the car,much better than i could have hoped. :) Quite shocked at the speed of it.I had a new shape S3 for a while and the Scirocco feels as quick,even though the bald facts say it cant ...

I have got the same combo coming on Tuesday.You Truffle detractors are so WRONG!,it looks the business!

I have a white DSG with truffle ordered,got the call to say it'll be in within 48hrs.I'm well chuffed!I was thinking of swerving the VW mats and ordering some from Justmatz or Autostyle so i can get black trimmed with white.The Audi ones i had in my S3 where like this and looked good.Fancy 19" ...
