Re: Standard spec seat comfort. It's good.

The seats are fine but surely getting in an out of a Rocco isnt ideal if you have a bad back !!? You want to try getting into a 3 series Coupe in a tight parking space. Mine was the MSport spec which meant it was low, had v.wide doors & big seat bolsters...didnt as much get in, rather fall in! ...

Re: lights in the footwell

You can change this in settings in the mfd...I think it's settings, lighting and then I think it states footwell lighting or something else obvious...you can make if brighter/dimmer in increments... I found it really annoying and turned it off after the first time I drove the Scirocco at night.Would...

Dealer full of excuses, won't admit that they accepted more orders than they had allocation to fill!
