Well all good things must come to an end, so after 2 years of Roc ownership I'm selling up and swapping on saturday.
Thanks to Kev for running a great forum - keep on Roccing.
I'll still be lurking from time to time

After the last 2 winters wanted the 4WD back.
So we should be in for a few mild ones now, according to sod's law

Well just to keep all things equal on the roads our MK6 GTI goes in Tues to pick up our shiny new roc. Lovely car but to quote a friend it was '' The GTI your dad buys''.
Looking forward to a better looking car, and will not miss the white paint....Never,Never Again!!!!

great choice having been in both R derivatives i can say dynamically the grip this has is superb, it feels like a 4wd GTI with so much better steering feel than a S3, post some piccies, oddly though i sought of love the manic behavour of the roc R in comparison

I would actually consider the Golf R if it wasn't pushing towards £40k for a tripped out one

The Golf R is fun and chuckable, as is the Scirocco, but in a completely different way.
Every one is a winner here

On a related matter, I will have a rigid plastic load liner and a set of 4 almost new luxury carpet mats to offload next week.
I'll put them on the board on Monday, but PM me if you are interested and willing to collect from Warks.
