My new 2.0 TSI, Rising Blue
Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 8:49 pm
It was somewhat of a sad day yesterday when i traded in my Seat Leon i've had over 9yrs, but i picked up the Scirocco and hopefully it will give me years of fun driving 
So far i'm liking it, though visibility isn't very good compared to the old Leon! Especially as i'm 6ft 4, and at that height (and with the seat fully down), i can't angle the rear view mirror to a point where i can see sky and road... all i get is road! Luckily the door mirrors are good! I can't fit in the back either, but i'll be driving, so that doesn't matter
I tested the 200bhp version before picking up this 210, and have to say they sound quite different. The 210 has a vaguely noticeable burble, and not the noticeable turbo spooling i could hear on the 200.
I wish they'd bothered to put a normal boot opener on the car though! Seems a silly omission.
Hopefully i can get some proper photos soon, though can't imagine it's going to be anywhere near as clean again this winter!
