I may have only had my steed for 2 days but it's amazing how many people you see at bus stops or walking along with a mate who points and mouths 'oh look a new scirocco'

Re: Do you get the pointing and mouthing thing.....
Yeah its quite nice, pulled up outside a few nice bars for people to come out and take a look round the car, been quizzed when at the shops or petrol station, even had somebody want their picture taken with it lol...
Reminds me very much when the BMW Mini arrived on the scene for the first time, I think it might last longer as we have entered the recession and people dont have as much money to spend as they tighten their belts
but who knows, I think its nice to be in this exclusive little club while it lasts

Indeed, but I'm sure you are hardly surprised by that considering how often that has been mentioned here, and the number of threades that have been started (myself included) here about the attention the car gets...Kev wrote:I may have only had my steed for 2 days but it's amazing how many people you see at bus stops or walking along with a mate who points and mouths 'oh look a new scirocco'

Re: Do you get the pointing and mouthing thing.....
Ive had a guy and his misses come over when I was filling up with petrol, and have a chat about the car. He had a Mk1 Scirocco years ago, and was driving an RS6 when he came over! It does amaze me at the interest they get, but there is nothing like it on the road, and long may that continue 

No Scirocco now - Just a black '57 Plate Black Jetta!

I've had a few passers by stop to discuss the merits of the car - mainly appreciative

Just took a friend to the bus station and when I got back she sent me a text saying did you see that bloke staring at you car
I said yep, I get that lot now! Also had someone almost hanging out a Scenic as I was sat at the lights.

Re: Do you get the pointing and mouthing thing.....
Yep - still getting it three months in! Regulallry happens on the road, from pedestrians and all sorts. Even had some traffic coppers in a MacDonalds in Portsmouth make positive remarks. Mind you it was good to see their Q car and clock it for reference in the area! ande before any comical remarks about McDo, I use them for coffee and free wi-fi when on the road!
Its a serious headturner and so far I have only seen two others on the road.
Lovin' it!

Re: Do you get the pointing and mouthing thing.....
I saw a white one parked up and as we drove past I pointed it out to my mates... so a lot of the people are probably soon to be rocco owners
Just wondered what everyone else thinks... I personally don't like it from the back, but once the rear side windows comes in to view the shapes all make sense
Does anyone think the back looks good???
