Scirocco Central

Just seen these two facelifts:

Interesting seeing the updated design:

1. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2014-Volkswag ... 3ce7e31407" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Bluemotion R Line)

2. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Sc ... 4adc4ee8e7" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (TDi GT 140 Bhp)

Have yet to see one in the flesh yet, though looking forward to spotting one soon on the roads

Very nice, haven't seen one on the road yet either.

Nice find!

Couple here too:

Mine is supposedly being built this week so hopefully not too long until it arrives.

I'd have to say, not too keen on the bumper updates, they look squarish, much prefer the curves of the original design. Also would rather be without the 3 dials on the inside dash.

However I do like the practical updates such as Front Parking sensors, the rear badge tailgate opener, the LED headlights, the engines will be more fuel efficient and return more mpg.

Looking forward to spotting one on the roads

Nice! I bet you can't wait

if you've had a chance to look around the facelift version , the dials are really quite naff, the whole boost gauge etc might be great for running high power or you're youth street racer but they look very fast and furious inside the car ontop of the dash, the only positive is that they are clearly an insert into the original dash ( a trim line around the whole gauge unit) so i imagine you can get rid of them and replace with a plastic blank sheet in the dash

Seriously, hands down prefer the one I have. The original non-facelift MKIII.

The steering wheel is better on the 2010+ (sorry, don't like the original one with the round buttons)
The rear bumper of first link looks horrific
I think the original front bumper looks more aggressive and suited

Saw a white gt in preston yesterday . New steering wheel looks good but overall I prefer the pre face lift. New one doesnt look as aggressive

Saw one on Saturday in Solihull. Different

Agreed, as the old saying goes "If it's not broken, don't fix it", and the MKIII is a beautiful design.

However will be interesting to see what VW will design when they release the new Scirocco MKIV in 2017.

I may have to rethink the idea of getting new one. Have some time so maybe it will grow on me, but right now, I don't like it.

Agreed - having seen a few pictures of them now, I am struggling to like it. I still prefer the pre-facelift model, but they really didn't need to add those dash top dials.

I agree with the majority of you guys, not too keen on the rear bumper, and the gauges on the inside won't be everyone's cup of tea, looks tacky... Engines are a positive, the same chassis, nothing much more to shout about. As much as I like driving the Scirocco, I probably wouldn't get another one.... a recent or near new Audi TT would be a nice alternative.

On the original pictures I thought they looked ok but when u go see them for real it's a different story. Dissapointing

Well, they do say it's in the eye of the beholder, since in the flesh they look sharper and a little fresher to me, and the R's front more aggressive. However, I have decided I can't live with the aftermarket look of the dashboard dials. That, coupled with the number of questionably modded Rs I've seen around, is beginning to make me feel that the next step for me will likely be the less charismatic, more grown up S3 - at some point. Still very much enjoying my Roc, however, and still think it looks a smart car on most occasions.

So it's looking like a bit of a collective thumbs down for the facelift Roc Gents? A bit of a disappointment I must admit.

Was driving home tonight from work and a blue scirocco r went past going the other direction. Im 99% sure it was the facelift model. Was a 64 plate. Actually looked quite nice

im new here looking to buy my first a new sirocco in a bit of dilemma .live in Ireland I saw a 2014 sport model not( r version ) pre face lift for sale 26 500 euro in silver only 300 km realy like look of it .but then I see the new facelift model in red for 28.500 euro ..I prefer the silver car but for the extra few euros do I go for the red as it includes technology pack(toch screen radio 6 disc cd changer )and few other little bits and think it says a sport pack, its a ex demo with 2k kilometres .with the better 150 hp engine . as people said don't like extra dials in the dash . so what to do go with heart go with silver or go with head go with the red which I realy like to by the way just like the preface lift look .what would u guys do .thoughts please up all night thinking about it .need help

The extra dial pod looks just like the one on the Beetle.

I guess they have a shedload of them, and as the Beetle is a poor seller, I suppose they had to use them elsewhere.

Shame they put 'em on the Scirocco!

Several on vw used car section also now. Not seen one on the road yet though.
