Ill be coming to the end of my R lease in November but Lookers in Newcastle have kindly agreed to hold one for me until then. Im glad...

Re: Changing my golf r for a scirocco r

I too have ordered a Scirocco R also from Lookers Newcastle. Although my current Scirocco R lease doesnt expire until end of October, they kindly agreed to hold on to the car for me until then. Its the last chance to drive an R on lease. I also went for a 36 month lease this time just to enjoy it ev...

Re: New Sirocco Ordered

In my experience with my 2015 R , fuel brand makes a big difference in economy, refinement of drive and performance. Cut a long story short worst fuel was Tesco momentum and best Shell vpower .

Re: New Sirocco Ordered

I drive a 2015 R and experimented with different fuel types. For a while I used shell v power. Then tried the standard shell. I was getting better economy on the standard but less roarty sound than with v power which is a must with the R. Although economy isn't as good ( because I put my foot down m...

Re: Special Offer Lease Deal

Im one of the ones that took the special lease deal last month. I agree with your comments about the old platform and over pricing but I'd have one of these over a common golf any day. I did some rough calculations and worked out that the lease deal of £156 a month and 2.4k deposit works out the eq...

Re: Special Offer Lease Deal

I worked out based on similar monthly repayments and deposit as the lease deal you would have to take on a 7 or more year loan affording only the basic 1.4 scirocco ( new vehicle ) and that's if you also qualify for a good interest rate. My calculations were based around 3.6% apr on a private loan. ...

Special Offer Lease Deal

Some of you may know there was an amazing lease deal on the Scirocco R towards the end of last month. Has this been a one off so far or do they come around from time to time?

Re: New Roc R has different Stereo - Not Happy!!!

This replacement is the new MB infotainment system isn't it? Surely this is far superior to the ageing RNS systems?

Re: Is this an R or R-line?

The latest standard spec for the R is 277 BHP with leather and cadiz 19" alloys which is why it might cause confusion now.

Re: Scirocco R - New Purchase (lease or buy)

I went for this deal too although it's all sold out now. I had to pay a bit more as the price is based on the free Urano Grey but they sold out quickly. Took next best white. Also included maintenance and tyre cover. The paint and service upgrade cost an extra £40 or so per month. Worked out just ov...
