Scirocco Central

So i should really do a running in period then?? my dealer told me the engines get run in at the factory?? Panhandle, the interiors and build quality of the Ford and Renualt are a joke in comparison to this. plus the scirocco looks miles better and is a proper head turner. i was driving up sloane st...

i really think that VW have made a technical marvel with this car. i still cant get over how comfortable, refined and well built for the price. AND it looks amazing, sounds awesome, the interior is a very good, and its effing fast. i dont know of any other manufacturer that can offer such a good bal...

Heya guys, in a few weeks in planning on driving to Italy with my R. did a few long runs over the weekend to average out the cost and project a MPG figure. To be honest my results impressed me greatly. bare in mind that the car had myself and a passenger in it, it managed to do 230 miles on half a t...

Picked it up Saturday, went for a drive and now in in love!!!!!!!!!!1 will add more later today. so glad i ordered the car, the 4 month wait was well worth it.

are the sweeping dails a standard feature on the R??? or do i have to use VAGCOM??

Cheers

As promised, I will now post the chronology of my order: 26/03/2011 Ordered Car: Scirocco R Rising Blue Manual Beadles of Bromley, London, is the dealer I ordered from Rang the dealer every 2 months. First time he said no news, the second time, which was 4 months in he told me that the car was being...

Silvia after my girlfriend, btw the car is better looking!!!!!

Im glad she never goes on this forum lol

Yeah, i would get the Conti 5P they scored very highly in all conditions in the AutoCar tyre test!! My R is coming with Dunlops, im reasonable happy with those. but i also could be tempted by the ContiWinterContact TS 810 Sport as i do alot of travelling in europe, for the winter month especially, a...

i got told mine was being built next week and i should have it 3 weeks time. bear in mind that mine is an R so it might differ in delivery times. will update you guys as soon as i get it and then i'll post a timeline so to ease the pain of waiting!!!

nice one guys!!! thanks for all the replies, really appreciate it. Pirelli's do wear out easily but they have so much grip. the reason i ask is i do alot of driving in Europe in the summer and on my MK4 R32 i had continentals, i know the car was 4x4 but jeez the grip was amazing and so was the durab...

nice one shaun, how the R to drive???, i only ever had a test drive for 15 mins, and couldnt even open her up!!! dunlops....mmmmm gotta get on to my dealer asap and get those changed. i just prefer the wet handling characteristics of continentals.

hey guys, quick question, just wanted to know which tyres VW use on the R????, im kinda hoping it will be the latest continental sport contact 5. pirelllis wear out to quickly and michelins arent as good as continentals in the wet. i just hope they let me chose!!! also anyone know the size for the 1...

How long did you have to wait until VW gave you a build date after you ordered? I order mine a month and a half ago and still not word, but i was told i woudl have to wait 9 months, so i guess its abit early.
