Scirocco Central

thanks- just glad it was in warranty....

33,000 miles

Hi All; not a regular but have shared my thoughts on this lovely car in the past. One of its total plus points is the smooth, powerful drive. Just as I am approaching the end of a 3 year lease I noticed a hesitation in accelerating, especially from low revs, when given a bit of welly. This had devel...

Yep, thank the Daily Mail and their hack Richard Littlejohn for that. Apparently you get FREE cars- and fancy ones at that!

If you drive a unique/ odd/ weird/ rare car then it almost comes naturally to acknowledge a person who has a similarly discerning choice. I got it a lot when driving an Alfa (when they were very unique- and a brave choice!) Frankly, ( and I love mine and its a great looking car ) Sciroccos are 2 a p...

Its a belter of a car/ engine. Stop worrying and enjoy.

Thanks Deacon- much appreciated. I'll look into that...

Thank You Scientist!!

Hi motorsportmatt My 160 is as solid and pleasing as the day I got it- actually no, its better! Its really become very nippy since I passed the 10k miles point and there are certainly no mechanical issues. I reckon you have had a one off Friday car and the diesel roc drivers are spreading the muck o...

Thanks friend.
I expected some more responses...

Have you thought about etching those handsome faces on the bonnet permanently? Their pictures are everywhere else in the UAE!

Hi All, This may have been covered already but I couldnt find it on searching: is there a recommended sports exhaust that improves the sound of the petrol 1.4 Tsi engine? It sound great already but wanted to know how I could enhance it. Not a boy racer noise but a more cultured, bass-ey purr... Im n...

totally agree my friend!! its certainly NOT PROGRESS is it??

why did my last car have frameless windows yet never needed this rigmarole??? It was a Hyundai Coupe SIII by the way.

I thought it was just mine! Very disappointing diesely chatter for a few seconds every morning....quite disconcerting as I chose the petrol to avoid the diesel sound..doh!!!

Going back to the driving characteristics- yes I genuinely consider linear, clean revving, acceleration is sportier than negotiating one short-lived lump of torque to the other with a very low redline. Diesels are great......in people carriers, lorries and taxis but have no place in performance ori...

Oh yes, depreciation is another argument thrown in favour of diesels but thats a house of cards built on a significant proportion of the car buying public believing that diesels are more desirable- then demand (based on supposed mpg benefits) pushes up residuals and therefore makes depreciation lowe...

Ask a diesel driver and they can only point to 2 things of note: mpg and mid range shove- not very sporty characteristics are they? And the roc IS a sporty car .... Exactly! I can think of 2 sporty diesels, one made by Audi, one by Peugeot and both mainly used for 24 hours at a time in France in an...

Its a colour you deliberately choose and blatantly shove in peoples faces! Nvere regretted it but understand Your doubts will get worse as time progresses. Change now !!
