What's the one option...

Post by rm0rgan »

You wish you had specced on your Rocco and have regretted ever since?

Mine was a stock car so never had the choice of options. Didn't want to wait 5 months. But I wish it had xenons

Same but mainly because they were having production issues when I bought (and wigit too) and they just plain weren't available. They look much better and the DRLs are nicer too.

My Rocco was specced by the dealer and has most options (except one or two of the really expensive items)as standard. This seems to be the trend in South Africa. Still I wish it had Navigation.

Cruise control. I have found myself doing a lot more motorway miles than I originally planned, and every time I do a long drive I think to myself, I wish I had cruise control!

Slightly off topic as I have been happy with all options, but I was somewhat miffed when within a few weeks of delivery, VW changed over to the white MFD and modified steering wheel, mine was one of the last red dash displays! Oh well - that's progress as they say! :-)

Isnt Cruise Control one of the more simple things to retrofit?

So far i'm not feeling too bad as I specced Xenons but only because we have them on the other car and on my last one - they really are so much brighter.

I have been thinking about whether I should have ticked the electric seat adjustment box though :fall:

Front mounted machine guns.

Essential for those outside lane hogging idiots.

I'm not sure why dealers think I'm joking when I ask for them......

Dipping door mirrors.
I'd quite like a reversing camera, but not at excessive cost (I already have reversing sensors). Has anyone looked at the cheap ones on eBay from HK, which claim to fit in the number plate light mount? Some are wifi.

Not sure Id have opted for anything else although a bit miffed my sunglasses don't fit in the glassed compartment (I know, not the time of year to be thinking about this). Some new glasses for next summer me thinks...

I never bought any of my Sciroccos brand new so I've never had the option of speccing anything.

I've got heehaw in mine. No leather, no cruise, no nav, no xenons or Bluetooth :(
