Re: Purchase Advice

Dont forget the What Car target price too - my local dealer matched it without hesitation, as if they dont you can call What car and they'll find you a dealer who can. For me this was a 7% discount at the time.

Cheers

Re: 1.4 160PS vs 2.0 210PS

I honestly think I'd have been happy with either, but I fancied the GT spec and after that there wasnt a lot in it price wise between the 1.4 and the 2L. Was wary about the economy but its been amazing; better than the 1.8 diesel mondeo it replaced. I guess petrol engines have come a long way in 7 y...

Re: Will it fit?

When I swapped from my mondeo to the 'roc I thought it would be no worse to fit in the garage (just based on my preconceptions about the size - I didnt look up the measurements or anything :p ). Boy was I wrong - with mirrors out its a tight old squeeze indeed with the 'roc. Nice to find someone els...

Re: jealousy! Oh dear.

Its not ideal for my two kids, due to its two doors, but once they are in the back there is loads of room. Numerous people have commented on the car at petrol stations etc. So far only in a postive fashion :) But yeah, I have mates at work who dont like the looks; luckily I think it looks great. Che...

Re: Scirocco vs Golf GTI

Well it is less practical using the back seats over a 5 door for sure, putting the kids in and out is slightly annoying. But as others have said, its not really bad, boot is suprisingly big and visibility fine if you have sensors and get used to using the massive mirrors. Go for it!

Re: Another Candy, lots of extras.

Hiya DGOT I thought it was a good deal yep. It replaces tires with same brand I believe, but dont quote me on that I'm just trying to recall what he said. It includes all consumables, servicing costs (3 services), tire wear (not punctures or valdalism) and the mot after year 3. And yes, it extends t...

Re: Another Candy, lots of extras.

Y without the tire insurance (ie including servicing cost, tire wear, consumables and mot after 3 years) it worked out at £15/month for me so the tire insurance adds a fair bit.

Re: Scirocco GT’s new engine delivers more power

the 200ps is so much fun I just grin everytime I see open road. Like others have said, buy the 500 quid remap for 250+ps if your really that bothered. I doubt anyone would be able to tell the 200 apart from the 210 anyhow in the real world :)
