Just ordered mine!
Posted: Mon Jun 01, 2009 6:00 pm
Just like to say thanks to some of the dudes who've helped me pick out the best options.
Today I've ordered the Scirocco GT TDI 140 with:
19 Liguano's - Purely because I like the way they fill the arches
Pearl Effect Black Paint - Was going to go for Rising Blue, but changed my mind
Rear Parking Sensors - An absolute must in my view
Smokers Pack - To tidy up the centre console
Folding Mirrors - Good for Tescos parking I find, or driving in Devon!
Had a pretty bad experience with VeeDub so far though if I'm honest. The car will be a fleet car, regardless I'm still paying money towards it, so I would not expect any different service, but...I've been waiting for a demo since the 8th of April (the fleet company sort that, by speaking to the VW Demo centre). A TSI GT was scheduled for delivery today, so i booked the day off, promptly got a call this morning at half 9 saying, 'just thought we'd let you know the demo car was sold this weekend, so you can either wait till the end of the month for a 1.4 model or the 15th for DSG'...Great, no apology offered either. I've lodged a complaint anyway.
Then spoke to the Dealers in Milton Keynes, who organised me a couple of hours in a GT model. Which wasn't a GT, I questioned the sales guy about it said 'says GT on the paperwork', no 18's, no dual zone climate, no tints, no fogs, no highline computer....not a GT. Drove it around for a bit and liked it, then on my return asked if my GT would be coming with the black roof lining (which I wanted). He said 'Yes, all Scirocco's do. I pointed out that the one i drove didn't, and he looked at me confused' Seemingly not even VW know what triggers the black rooflining, though i'm guessing it's the leather option maybe, or even car colour? I'm getting a call about it tomorrow, and I will push for it anyway!
Regardless, the GT is a very nice car and I cant wait now, saying that it's going to be a bit gutting to see the A3 go, 64K so far, and not one issue to speak of, the staff at my local dealership are awesome too (and fit!)
