Or at least as best as I can find.

The Geneva car was a red colour called Firespark.

Candy White


Salsa Red



Rising Blue


Pewter Grey


Deep Black


Viper Green



Reflex Silver


Sumatra


Black and white

that salsa red is beginning to tempt me, sumatra is also look good to (very similar to lava grey on audis), need to see them in the flesh

[Kev]

Sumatra looks a bit brown to me.

The red is rather striking although I think I preferred the slightly darker Geneva red.

I'm still gunning for rising blue

[Edinburgh Scirocco]

I have just seen the red and blue in Edinburgh and Stirling VW showrooms and reckon the blue looks the best. I've changed my order and expected build is week 42. Can't wait!!!
PS. The Salsa red does not flatter the car.

[wigit]

i'll cross off the red then, need to see the sumatra then, any other feedback having seen one in the flesh

Can anyone confirm that the photo on this page is in fact salsa red? (or is it actually firespark or a colour not available on the UK production cars).

Reason i ask is i think that salsa red might be a brighter,more conventional flat red,similar to the Gti.If you actually go to a dealer and look at a sample it appears to be a brighter red colour and not the dark maroonish colour in the photos and in the broshure and on the website.Because if that isn't salsa red then i can see some very dissapointed customers come delivery day,and the broshure and website would be very misleading and constitute a major screw up on VWs part.

i hope it is salsa red though,looks like a nice colour.

That's how it was labelled on the site where I found it, however, I've just found a picture of a UK dealer car and swapped the pics round. That's definitely Salsa red now


Also added a slightly more white looking white one and a less contrasty viper green.

i'm gutted they are not doing firespark, i fear they have missed a trick with that one as i think it has real presence

[Kev]

Yep. I think it had some real oomph about it.

Maybe it's something they'll add in a midlife facelift if enough people ask about it.

[DavidH]

It's probably a really expensive paint.if they could come up with something affordable that's similar then it'd be cool.Is it a production paint elsewhere or was it just used for the show cars?

Hey everyone, I ordered my car last week, I have driven around Scotland to see it in as many colours possible. I have ordered the Black but I may be tempted for the Sumatra, anyone know where I can see it in that colour?

I saw the Black in Kirkcaldy, Silver @ Gorgie Road and the Blue @ Whitehill Road both of those are in Edinburgh.

Before I saw the Blue I was possibly going to order it, then I saw it and decided to go for the Black, and now I am unsure as Sumatra looks very tempting.

Also I've opted for the Black leather, I've always wanted a tan leather interior but everyone including the sales exec advised me to go for the Black leather.

Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Mine is likely to arrive in early Jan, I can't wait, anyone know where I can offload my Golf? Very high spec: Silver 1.6 FSI DSG, Heated Leather seats, Sat Nav, AC, Elec Sunroof too, 6CD changer, 34,000 miles.

I think this is Sumatra, looks very nice but I gotta see it in the wild.

Go to an audi dealer.
They do a very very similar sort of browny/purple kind of colour called lava grey. I'm guessing that's pretty similar anyway.

[wigit]

my a3 is lava grey love the colour, annoyingly you can't get it on a tt or s3, pitty as compared to met black a3s looks more special

dealer does think sumatra is a very similar, indeed if i stlill have time to change i think this could be a dark horse and tempt me from rising blue, unfortunatly my dealer end up with a silver rather than sumatra demo

not seen the tan leather in the flesh, i think will go well with black or sumatra, rising blue choice as said before is black, i don't mind interior being black all through and love black headlinings

[rehmondo]

Yeah same here mate, I like how the black headlining is standard they wanted £200 extra for that on an Audi A5 (which I was dreaming of getting before I laid eyes on the Sirocco), I'm really happy with my choice, now the hard part of waiting till January.

After seeing the following pic on the French site, link posted by morrissey, I am glad I have chosen Black....

There are some more pics on the french site of the Sumatra , looks too brown to me.

[rehmondo]

That looks Evil !!!!

You mean that in a good way right?

PS It's got a front kit on, probably a bit low for me, anyone know if the alloys are branded by someone else?
