Re: Scirocco prices around the world
If you really want an accurate/fair comparison, all the details of a specs need to be listed. A standard roc in the UK is not the same as a standard one in Holland, or Belgium, or Germany. Also, prices are usually scaled to expected product volume and population income of the destination country (ju...

Re: VW reduces production of the Scirocco
Today Autoeuropa (Scirocco's factory) is resuming the production of the Scirocco after a 1 month vacation break. This is strange, I have a confirmed build week of 34 (last week). I picked it up last Thursday so it took me 5 months from placing the order to the car delivery. Is it 5 months a long wa...

Re: Lead time
She explained the delay due to VW closing the factory in August. When I pointed out that she had just said the car would be built in August she stumbled and said 'they only close it for a few weeks!'. Is it true the factory closes in line with European holiday season? Last year (2008) the factory w...

Re: Some Checks On New Car Collection
Some spots to check for damage: http://www.scirocco-club.nl/forum/index ... 563#msg563
Several people had those scratches, they're said to be from carelessly loading onto/unloading off of a transporter.

Re: 3% price increase from September
It depends on the country. In The Netherlands we pay €550 for anything other than candy white (€195 for salsared).maisbitt wrote: and VW don't charge any more for their metallics than the other brands do.

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)
VW service continues to amaze Indeed. I called today to add parking sensors to my order. So the sales person (not the one that sold me the car) asked me, "front and back, right?" "Or do you want the vision system?" I had to tell him, the roc only has 1 type of parking sensors. W...

Re: How long did you wait for your Scirocco?
Called the dealer again today to add Parking Sensors. Estimated build week 34 (same as 3 weeks ago). I ordered on May 12, so 14 weeks to build, add 1 to 2 weeks for delivery = 15 to 16 weeks total. To me it seems the UK has shorter delivery times that the rest of us (I'm from NL), but to be fair, it...

Re: Premium Bluetooth
Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but the Bluetooth SAP specifications only mentions a SIM-card, not a phone number listing of a phone. This leads me to believe that phone numbers that are not on the SIM-card will not be transferred. I still have my car on order, so I can't check myself ye...
