Reading the traffic helped (no fast acceleration, letting the car slow down naturally instead of braking etc) plus I was also following a lorry fairly (safely) closely. It is dull though, I wont be driving like th...

MPG shock

I decided to be unusually boring yesterday during my usual Monday trip to Heathrom from South Oxfordshire. In my 2.0TSI I managed to get....48.2mpg average! Well happy with that, I have half a tank of petrol left and the trip says I can go another 255 miles on it (not in reality obviously) with 252m...

Re: Too big

I went from a Toyota Aygo to a 'Roc, I find it easy to manouvre around town and easy to park although I agree entirely with everyone else by saying that parking sensors are an absolute must!

The performace of my 2.0 TSI 'roc is a little better than the old Aygo too :-)

Re: Climatronic AUTO button

I'm wondering if my 'rocco is a weird spec, it's a 2009 model with the 2 temperature screen climate but new style steering wheel?

Re: Mew new 'Rocco

Hi Trix, its got full vienna leather, parking sensors, 18" Interlagos alloys, carpet mats and err thats it I think. Its a GT model so they seem pretty well equipped anyway. Loving that I can attach my iPhone to the stereo, no more wires everywhere. Managed to do nearly 800 miles in 2 weeks just...

Mew new 'Rocco

Hi all,

picked up my (nearly) new 'Rocco 2.0 TSI a couple of weeks back but have only just had the chance to take a pic. Cant believe how dirty its got already, its going to be detailed at the weekend.
