Scirocco Central

It's taken a while to post but I took delivery of my Ultra Violet Scirocco in December! I am loving it big time. It's my first Scirocco. All my worries about the colour melted away as soon as I saw it, and I've had nothing but positive voluntarily given comments about the colour from guys and girls....

£5,500 just to insure the car?!!! Is this for real? I would never have a car that cost more than £700 or £800 a year to insure. It just isn't worth it! I am staggered at what you younger lads have to pay on insurance. It's ridiculous. In my opinion (for what it is worth) unless you are especially we...

That does look really good. This is an AMAZING car to have at 21!!! Very lucky lad to be able to afford to run and buy one of those at your age. Your dads workshop I noticed in the back ground also had some very interesting classics. I love classics and have couple myself. Only about 3 weeks to the ...

Roy they look fantastic.

Ive had no communication what so ever from my salesman or dealership. But I've called customer services at VW and they have told me my build date is week commencing 9th Nov!!! Next week. I guess I may get it before Christmas!

Philjay92 your car looks awesome

Suits me if they delay the next Scirocco for a few years. I'm just about to get my new (and first) one and I don't really like the idea that a new version will be on the road any time soon making mine look dated and old hat

Thanks I will

Cleandiesel the car doesn't come with smoked back lights does it? What model are you buying? I want smoked back lights!!!

johnschick that is a lovely blue - they had one in my local showroom when I ordered mine and it looked very classy. That colour yet again was not available on the R Line either - along with the Red or the Oak. I think all the dark colours will need a lot of keeping clean for the car to look good, UV...

It is getting long in the tooth and a new Scirocco is due in early 2017 but I doubt it will be radically different to the current model - VW don't do radical model changes. Also the latest Scirocco's do contain all the latest driver aids and central Sat Nav/phone/sterio system of the latest golf so ...

Personally I'm not a fan of private plates and rightly or wrongly when ever I see a car with a private plate I always form an opinion of that driver that is less favorable than it would otherwise be.
That's just me - no offence to those of you that have them but the thread did ask for our opinions

I'm in the border between Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire. By the sounds of it I had better wait until it is out of warranty! Obviously I've shown my age talking about 'chips' rather than a 'remap' but I've been driving a 13 year old Ford Puma and a Land Rover Defende...

Once my 2.0 TSI (180 BHP) arrives I was wondering if there is a chip you can get done to take it up to 220 BHP?
Also, if there is, would having it done effect the manufacturers warranty?
Know any companies that do it?

Yes the Oak colour is very nice indeed but as we the only other Scirocco colours I like - it's not available on the R Line!!!

I genuinely admire you being an environmentalist but buying a brand new car is a shockingly bad thing to do for the environment (not that I'm criticising as I've just done the same thing) so why didn't you go for a used one? I ordered the 180 PS Petrol but I really wanted the 220 which they've just ...

I'm gutted I've just missed out and am having to get the 180PS!!

That looks brilliant. I love it in red. Really disappointed I couldn't get my R-Line in red but its only available for the GT.

That looks fantastic!!!! Bet you can't stop grinning.

What can you add/do to it without invalidating your warranty?

Yes the Onyx White is very pearlescent and metallic = it looks very nice on the sample but haven't seen it on a car. After all the messing about - in the end I changed my order to metallic grey and then drove home and noticed almost every car on the road was black, grey or silver and with my current...
