A friend of mine loves my Scirocco, but cannot really afford to get (or run) anything but the basic 1.4.
I have tried searching for this online but there really is very little information about the 1.4 spec even on the VW website.
What he basically wants to know is whether the interior is the same as the GT's?
Are the seats the same? And what about the dashboard? I did notice that according the VW website, the basic 1.4 doesn’t come with the Dual climate control, is that correct?
Any other interior detail that is different in the basic model compared to the GT?
But do they have the full touch screen Radio?
Thanks!

Hi
Ive ordered the 1.4 TSI and have a confirmed build week 48.
The standard radio system is the RDS 510 (touchscreen) which is the same as the 2.0.
I added The Bluetooth prep which upgrades the Computer to HiLine and adds the multifunction steering wheel (£545)
I also upgraded the wheels to the Interlagos alloys ( £395 ) and added foglights ( £190)
The Dual zone Air Con costs £395 to add so I just went with the standard system
So really all Im missing is a larger engine , tinted rear windows and the chrome twin exhaust .
This kept me under the 20K Limit I had set myself or it did until I saw pictures of the touch screen with the rear parking sensors in action so I added them on as well.
Im not fussed about the engine size as its really the appearance of the car I'm interested in . Im moving on from my 7 year old Mini Cooper which was a great stand out car in its early days but not any more, as the market is now swamped with them.
Regards
Andy

Whats the road tax on the 1.4 Scirocco, its £170 for the 2.0, you maybe in for a shock coming from the mini cooper.
