Changing my golf r for a scirocco r

[Saha]

Hello
Changing my golf r for a scirocco r I have always liked the scirocco shape and I think that they are not going to make the scirocco much longer so I have placed a order for the r in white.Thanks

What version of the golf did you have? If it's the 7, it'll feel like a downgrade as the golf is much better...especially in terms of speed and grip. The Roc is still a good car though, the golf 7R is just better.
Hope you enjoy when it comes.

Thanks for the reply I had the mk7 which I have had 2 of these I decided to change the car because of the low trade in values these cars are fetching which was caused by the cheap lease deals my car was a high spec and the trade price was a joke I could not get a better deal than we buy any car so with the scirocco deals I thought this was a better option than let's say buying another golf r mk7.5 and being caught in the same trap.Thanks

Ah, OK. I'm still running our golf but will possibly have a similar issue in February once the PCP comes up. The cars are very different but you do get used to it. Noise from the 'Roc is far better. There are a couple of members on here "in the same boat" so to speak. Enjoy.

Scirocco R orders closed in Feb 2017 so unless you're getting a pre-ordered one you won't be getting one. Ask your dealer if he has actually placed the order and got a build number for your to track it with. Guess how I know?

My car arrived last week and is now at the dealer lookers of newcastle

So ordered by the dealer on spec before Feb and you've now put your name on it. That's OK then. I ordered one in April and it took them a month to tell me they couldn't supply it. Eventually tracked down a fax from VW UK to their dealers saying no new orders after I think 17 Feb. Didn't want you to be misled like I was. Enjoy it.

I too have ordered a Scirocco R also from Lookers Newcastle. Although my current Scirocco R lease doesnt expire until end of October, they kindly agreed to hold on to the car for me until then. Its the last chance to drive an R on lease. I also went for a 36 month lease this time just to enjoy it even longer but with DSG instead of my current manual. Its in part a tribute lease I guess
Let me know how you get on Saha and dont forget to check out VW Scirocco R Owners - UK on facebook and update their would be great

Hello
Thanks for the reply after owning 2 golf r's i wanted a change and in my opion the scirroco r for styling beats the golf by a mile I looked at other cars i.e. Rs focus,BMW 140i,Audi s3,but the scirroco I think is the better all round car should be getting it in the next few days.Thanks
