Rare non Rising Blue Roc!!

Post by GeoffT »

My Reflex Silver Roc arrived on Monday in the pouring rain so had to wait until nearly the end of the day to grab a quick pic. I only changed my mind to Reflex Silver from Rising Blue when I saw one in the local showroom. I still really like Rising Blue, but just thought the Reflex looked really classy and a maybe bit more restrained. I am pleased with my choice.


First impression of the car in general, brilliant!!The 140CR diesel is a huge improvement on the 140PD in my wifes Audi, much smoother and quieter and already feels more lively. I love the way the Roc drives generally. I managed to get a comfortable driving position really quickly and this has taken me weeks of tinkering in other cars. All the controls work with a good solid feel, and are perfectly weighted. We've been on a few day trips around Devon and it has performed really well on all sorts of different roads. I have also already seen 2 people having a good look at it as they walked by it, which hasn't ever happened with any other car I've had. While I am in acceptance speech gushing mode, I should mention Dealdrivers.co.uk who brokered the deal through Alan Day VW and saved me pretty nearly £2000 off list. It all went through seemlessly and the car was delivered to my door 11 days earlier than the original estimate. As you may have gathered, I'm chuffed to bits!!

Reflex silver is a very underrated colour in my opinion. A local guy had one but seems to have got rid of it now for a Golf GTi. Must say I wasn't fussed about that colour until I saw his in the flesh. Very nice indeed.
