Re: DAB signal issue

Interesting mix of comments here! not any wiser to whether this is hardware or signal issue. My local radio station is broadcast from 3 miles down the road and they constantly promote their DAB service so makes me lean towards the hardware problem. Shame really as when the DAB works it's great and t...

Re: Don't miss Top Gear this Sunday

Well that was a bit disappointing! Don't think the scirocco came across well at all. I thought Top Gear rated the car but obviously not. They should at least have put the TSI around the track.

Re: BABY SEAT

Hi there I have a two year old and the seat fits perfectly in the back and he has plently of leg room. Seats seem raised in the back so he has a good view out the sides and forward.

He loves the car as much as me!

DAB signal issue

Hi guys, i am getting very inconsistent signal on the DAB it is constantly jumping from DAB to FM when it can't find DAB.

I agree after the mini the legroom is like a stretch limo!

Re: MINI Cooper S going Rocco coming Tuesday...

You won't regret it. The roc feels more solid than the mini and certainly has more torque and handles better

I have 400 miles on it now (tsi) best I have got is 41mph over 30 miles mixture of A roads and motorway. Also noticed an improvement when I use the cruise control.

Re: MINI Cooper S going Rocco coming Tuesday...

Been driving the roc for over a week now and absolutely love it. No regrets losing the mini as the roc is a much better car. The biggest thing I notice is the superior build quality. Don't have the dashboard rattles and the sound insulation is fantastic.

Re: here she is (with pics)

Pleased with the deal I got. Although my last car had negative equity so that didn't help my cause. Did you get yours from them?

MINI Cooper S going Rocco coming Tuesday...

Hi everyone, getting my TSI on July 7 and parting with my beloved Cooper s. Switching to a car with a similar go kart feel but with a superior built quality without doubt! Anyone else made the same switch from mini?

Seems like a long wait since April but 3 days to go! :D

Pics will follow!
