Scirocco Central

I test drove a Giulietta Cloverleaf when it came out.
I remember how much better the roc felt to drive when I got back in it afterwards.
The cloverleaf is a bit 'squirty' and frenetic.

Haven't driven it but the common wisdom is that the multi air is nicer to drive

I had the same dilemna and went with the Golf R.

Punitive mpg aside, it is a nice car

I am hoping to get payback next winter with the 4WD.

I'll put them on the board on Monday, but PM me if you are interested and willing to collect from Warks.

Now on the For Sale board

The Golf R is fun and chuckable, as is the Scirocco, but in a completely different way. Every one is a winner here :) Agree with what you say, so details, colour and number of doors If you are asking about the R, Black 3 door manual, leather, sunroof, 19s , ACC, Storage and luxury packs :clap: One ...

After the last 2 winters wanted the 4WD back.

So we should be in for a few mild ones now, according to sod's law

I also went for a Golf ..R

Well all good things must come to an end, so after 2 years of Roc ownership I'm selling up and swapping on saturday.
Thanks to Kev for running a great forum - keep on Roccing.

I'll still be lurking from time to time


:
whoops - wrong folder - can you please move it for me Admin

tbh I wouldn't use it much any way - It's not much use when I'm chucking the roc around the lanes

More for the motorway runs.

Not surprised nobody else has owned up, but I reckon there's someone out there who is grateful for the clue....

Coming up to two trouble-free years of Roc ownership and I finally find out how the arm rest works - doh! Despite having previously dismantled and rebuilt the arm rest I still couldn't get it to slide as per the manual. Yesterday I was in a mate's MK5 golf and he had the arm rest extended and the pe...

It costs about £65 to retrofit, but can be done in about 15 minutes if you know what you are doing.
Better to spec it if you have the chance.

There is a step-by-step over in the mod section somewhere

If you get a chance to spec it , do it as it's only about £15 iirc.
I retro fitted mine for about £75.

It's dead easy to fit, apart from removing and refitting the charging socket.
Without that it'd be a 15 minute job.

I had my external garage door single skinned in the middle, so I could open the driver's door.

It's a tight fit in any modern garage but doable .

I can help you to narrow it down (or is it the opposite?)

The story about the sunroof is complete twaddle - it's been discussed and dismissed in an earlier thread.

If you want a glass roof,go for it - I love mine.

After 6 months of scirocco ownership I finally encountered another roc coming in the opposite direction, another pewter near Malvern.

I flashed and got a wave.

Can't believe it took so long.

TPM - given the cost

easy to fix after the event

I didn't want hill hold but it came on the car.

The folding mirrors are indispensable with a narrow garage though
