Hi MrACD, Welcome!!!

unfortunately the delivery time is linked to dealer allocations and also reduced production in the portugal factory where the scirocco is built, there are plenty of us who are affected & definitely not happy about it, feel free to join us crawling the walls and we shall try to satisfy your 'roc appetite.

tell us abit about yourself, what spec have you gone for (i can't believe that you haven't gone for any!) & where abouts in the country do you hail from?

Thanks for the welcome!

Well im from sunny Birmingham!

I'm a serial car buyer, had 24 cars in 11 years........ Its a disease!

Had a fair few VW's in my time, the MK5 Golf Gti being one..... Thought this time i'd go for a coupe and after narrowing it down there was only one winner! - The Roc.

Sorry, i have had cruise and parking sensor's as an option, being the GT it has eveything i need on it.. Leather would be nice bit seems a bit expensive?

Also, I got a new brochure and have they made some tweaks to the car? interior etc? - The brochure i had seems to be more like the New Golf interior.....

Nice tho!

Just call me poirot! Welcome to the forum! Good choice by the way, welcome to the club. It's gonna be a long wait but it's worth it.

The 10My gets the new steering wheel and instrument cluster which looks very tidy and the software on the head unit has been upgraded to give a few extra features.

Although there appears to be a few around now the Roc is being built in fairly small numbers when you compare it to the Golf and demand is very high which unfortunately means a long wait for those ordering now.

Will hopefully catch up some time and take you for a spin although this might make the wait worse! :yes:
08/11 - 12/13 2.0 TSI R DSG, Black / Black Vienna
01/09 - 08/11 2.0 TSI GT DSG, Black / Truffle Vienna

Yeah defo mate, seems you have an ultimate spec on yours aswell as the tsi engine!

Didnt even notice they had updated a few things until after my order went in.

You'll defo have to take me for a spin! Suppose the longer I wait for it the more money I can save.

I didnt go for much additional spec as I dont tend to keep my cars that long, as you well know! - the GT spec is enough for me!

You might want to consider the dealer fit luxury mats rather than the factory ones. The dealer fit mats have scirocco written on the front ones, the factory ones are plain. Depends on your tastes. :yes:

Well the wait for the Roc is going to change your average a bit :D Regard it as aversion therapy.
But in the meantime welcome to the forum.
