Re: Scirocco R - Worth it?

Haha it does sound a bit like I have a thumb shaped bald patch on my head. But to be fair. We would be getting rid of her car and she would be the one commuting in it whereas I'd get to enjoy it at the weekends.

Re: Scirocco R - Worth it?

Thanks for the info Cuprabob. I meant electrically folding mirrors as the ones on this car are only adjustable electrically.

If I do end up getting it I'll will be reading the guides on here as I've seen there are quite a few.
