Scirocco Central

Lads, Dunno if there has been a wave of 09 plate buyers but I must of seen over 10 roc's on the road this week, So much for exclusivity......lol Good whilst it lasted. Its too popular - come on, get a grip! It gets voted Top Gear car of the year. It beats a mini by 0.00054 seconds on fifth gear. Mo...

I hazard a guess you have not taken the dealer up on his offer!

Were they being offered at a decent discount over the usual discounts you can get?

Did you get the xenons?

New unit in the Roc is the new common rail diesel which is in the new Golf, not the Mk5 Golf

Absolutely bonkers rates aren't they, given the Base and the LIBOR rate?

Savings getting about 3% at the moment, yet can't get loans for less than 8%.

I was more than happy with the standard set up that I had on my 48 hr test - you're right, its only a little thing, not half as bad as waiting 4 months

It's VW who make the Rocco

I got one for two days. Dead easy, through my lease company. VW even rang my mrs to see if there was any other cars we wanted to test! Re the DSG, please don't take anyone's opinion for it, try to get a test drive and form your own opinion. As an active member of many forums over the year DSG is def...

A high spot in a particularly uninteresting and dull version of top gear. Padded out the cool wall a bit, and other bits a fair bit. They've set high standards but a couple this time around the show has been well off the mark.

Well done speedy Kev tho

Just let the engine get up to temperature and then drive it like you stole it!

Great pics of the merlin cloth - that looks fine to me.

Excellent read, not heard much in depth feedback on this engine.

If the whole point of getting the Roc was to turn heads, you could have spent so much less on a different car and painted it pink! Or borrowed Clarkson's car from his american adventure!

Fair position given the competition.

Would have clearly been a much better programme if the rocco had been voted higher

I popped the osram nightbreaker 90% more light in my good ladies leon cupra and I'm not that impressed at all. Think I should have gone Phillips x-treme power.

Cheers Iroc for the welcome - and the posts on Mk4s, which have been useful when considering the next move. Test drove a Roc for 2 days and the Sline as well - enjoyed both a lot. Tonight driving in the dark without xenon's it really reminded me they are a must have. Got to order soon, but a fair le...

I'm having to order a company car asap & its Rocco v A3 sline. Love them both, but the lack of Xenons on the Rocco is a real problem, and for me a bit of a deal breaker if they are still not available.
