After a week of ownership

Post by Gmanr »

Had the Rocco just over a week now, and love it!!
It is such a good looking car, I've had tones of nice comments . I remember reading a comment about the golf R and the Rocco, we're someone said the scirocco is the one you will always look back at and the golf is just another golf.
This is the comment that made my mind up buying the Rocco over the golf.

The only thing that let's it down is that should be AWD! What a car it would be then!!

Still not driven it at night yet, so don't have a clue what the instruments are like at night.

I've always said that a golf doesn't get a second look everybody looks at a roc over and over again

A Golf R is still very much FWD biased.

Also a first time rocc owner. And must admit, the car is not entirely designed around functionality. I am 1.87m and my seat is at it lowest, my head is very close to the roof, I would not be able to wear a helmet. Also the rear view mirror is purely there to say you have a rear view mirror lol. The seat belt is way behind you. But who cares about all that. Is a rocc. It's just amazing

Im at 1.83m and have no problem at all when driving with a helmet.
And i agree with the seatbelt, way to far back. But it's something to live with, all 2 door cars are the same :(
