Re: What's your driving position like?

Around 6ft and like you guys i'm low down and can't see my bonnet. Not sure if any of you have experienced this but i feel like my steering wheel is too high? I've lowered it all the way and still feels far too high, unlike my Civic before my rocco.

Re: Colour Choice - Ultra Violet?

My Rocco is Ultra Violet, very worried when i first ordered but haven't regretted it at all since picking up the car. Get's so many looks when driving about especially on a sunny day.

Re: Do new cars generally have crap mpg? (2.0Tdi 184)

Same with mine, i have a 2.0 TDI 150bhp and at most i'm getting around 48 mpg. I had a 2.2 CTDI Honda Civic before my rocco with 160,000 miles and doing the same journeys i was getting 55mpg. Definitely not as good as i was hoping from VW so far, but again i've only got 3,000 miles on the clock at t...

Re: Do you wave?

When I had my VW Lupo I got many waves from fellow drivers. Not had one since I've had the Roc, definitely will keep trying though..

Re: What did you do to your Scirocco today?

Drove mine round London for the first time yesterday. Absolute madness, never drove to around London before and only had my Roc a couple of weeks.

Re: Scirocco 2.0 TDI help

Pretty sure this is how diesels are? The torque runs out at around 3500/4000 rpm hence the need to change up a gear to bring the revs back down. I guess if its a dramatic power loss there could be a problem but I just think thats the way diesels work.

Re: Scirocco Facelift - Clarkson review

Absolute rubbish article, I have recently purchased the new shape 2.0 tdi, 148bhp and I can only imagine this model is more fun to drive than the 1.4 petrol, the torque is incredible even and so much fun. It definitely isn't 'slow' I absolutely love it!

How long til my Scirocco should arrive?

Hi guys newbie here, I ordered a Scirocco 2.0 TDI from my local VW dealer on the 22nd of this month, delivery date was expected for today but still nothing. How long did it take for your cars to arrive? I believe its only had to come from another place in the UK. It'll be my first time owning a Scir...
