Scirocco Central

I used drivethedeal when I bought mine almost a year ago. Absolutely spot on, honest, friendly and helpful service, great discount (better than carwow and orangewheels in this case) and the dealer wasn't too far away from where I live anyway. Would definitely recommend, what's not to like!

Yes I've had a facelift since September last year, the only thing I don't love about it is the ridiculous speedometer design! Don't know what they were thinking, they couldn't have made it look more confusing and messy if they had tried...

I noticed that on new builds, the newer 'Discover' navigation system is available as an option. I currently have the RNS315, does anyone know if this new system will be available as an aftermarket upgrade and if so is it worth upgrading to? Car-Net seems like it would be pretty cool.

I have the colour MFD on mine, it's ok but you aren't missing much - it's only colour in a few keylines and background elements. In hindsight I probably shouldn't have bothered but I like gadgety things!

something that I don't like on the Facelift is the speedometer - it has both MPH and KPH and looks really cluttered, I have to look really closely to see what the speed is. I believe that previous versions only have MPH on RHD cars. The MFD only shows KPH too which is annoying. Not my car but it loo...

No plans - I'm more of a casual driver (the trim is the basic level which is probably why it looks simple to you ) Gauges are oil temp, stopwatch/old school digital clock, and turbo.

Its a pretty big upgrade for me in every way (previous car was a Citroen C1), loving it right now!

Here's my brand new car, picked it up on Saturday! Specs are: 1.4tsi manual in Urano Grey with: - rear tinted windows - rear view camera - RNS315 - Keyless entry - colour MFD Was a bit worried about the colour (hadn't seen it in person until I picked up the car) in case it would be quite flat and du...

Or buy an unofficial one off eBay for 3 quid

Nice one! I'm picking mine up this Saturday. Get some pics up when you can!

I am so jealous of you right now. How long did it take for your dealer to turn the car around? I must admit these problems wouldn't seem as bad if I was just waiting for a normal boring car but the fact it's something quite exciting the wait is killing. My dealer suggested they were holding them ba...

I asked my dealer where the cars go but he didn't know other than Portugal > UK. Seems to be pretty quick though, mine went from 'In transit' to 'arrived in UK' in 15 days.

mine just went to 'arrived in UK' this morning

Awesome

Mines about a week behind yours I think, so hopefully not too long for me either!

Finally! After over a month - build week confirmed as 28/9.

Getting there

Has anyone had any progress on the order tracker yet?

I'm still stuck on #2 'with factory' where its been for almost a month now...starting to get annoyed

maybe...or maybe you just ordered earlier than I did hopefully it will change soon, already getting impatient!

got the order number, but its still on #2 'with the factory' where its been for a couple of weeks now...

Had my order confirmed a couple of weeks ago for a base 1.4 petrol model in urano grey with rear view cam, tinted rear windows, colour MFD, kessy, sat nav. Was told it would be 12-14 weeks but I don't think they really had much idea beyond what I assumed was a generic timeframe...

Thanks mate! I went for the base trim 1.4 in urano grey with a few extra options on top (I'm more of a casual driver). Got the rear view camera as I heard it's recommended, keyless as mentioned, satnav, and colour MFD because I'm a massive nerd for stuff like that! Been looking to buy a scirocco for...
