Re: Sumatra owners reassure me!

on a side note, i have only test driven a dsg gearbox & am planning on getting a manual, my local dealer seems to be unable to get hold of a manual box 'rocco (or they don't think i'm serious about buying one being the age & gender i am) opinions anyone? I was in the same boat with the gear...

Re: Sumatra owners reassure me!

I think one of the problems is the lack of wow colours in the list. Viper green and white both suit the car well and certainly stand out but they aren't really my cup of tea. I know all colours are horses for courses but nothing there really grabs me. It's a shame there isn't a decent metallic red o...

Re: Sumatra owners reassure me!

Thanks for the advice all. Been reading around and there seems to be a lot of love for the sumatra out there but sadly I've wimped out I'm afraid and changed my order to black! I realised I'd be worrying about it for the next 3 months until it arrived and the wait is going to be hard enough as it is...

Sumatra owners reassure me!

Hi all, I've ordered in sumatra without seeing it in the flesh and am starting to feel a little nervous about it. I very much like some of the pictures I've seen but of course it isn't the same as seeing it with your own eyes. It really came down to a choice between black and sumatra (not massively ...

Re: Ordered

Brace yourself ... Van white (or at least used to be) 306 diesel (1.9 without a turbo - the accelerator is less of a command than a suggestion to the engine that if it can be bothered it might like to supply a little more power but only if it's not too much trouble). Needless to say the roc is a bit...

Ordered

Just got back from the dealers ... 2.0 Manual GT in Sumatra ordered. In about 4 minds over colour but wanted something classy but a little different so hopefully made the right choice. Been quoted a 12 week wait which sounds about standard - going to be a long time driving my current crap heap! I'm ...

Re: Why do they not want my business?!!

Thanks for the advice all. I've got a test drive booked in at the weekend so hopefully it'll go ok and I can get my order in. I'm pretty much set on the options I want so I'm preparing myself for the long wait. Planning on keeping the car for a while though so it'll be worth it to get the stuff I wa...

Why do they not want my business?!!

First post so hi all! Been browsing the forum for a few days now - lots of info and advice so thanks to everybody. I've been looking for a new car for a while and have pretty much decided on the roc after a quick test drive. Trouble is my local dealers don't seem to be in the least bit interested in...
