Help with 'about to buy a new scirocco' please folks....

[Davie L]

Folks ive been reading this forum for a wee while now, got some great advice.....been to see two scirocccos today and need some advice??

As yous are aware finding a decent unabused low milage tdi 170 dsg is really hard, today i viewed one along with a tdi 170 manual....dsg has 20k cloth seats white, manual has 10k leather and sunroof pearlesent green.

Which one would you pick, why??

Also what items should be in the boot, under the lock and also over the left hand side there is clips for items but no items im guessing warning triangle and maybe first aid kit??

Anything else i should be looking for?

I appreciate your help.....soon as i decide ill bang some pics up :-)

Also whats the sd card slot for? Theres a 'phone' button on the sterring wheel and cd player but when pressed nothing comes up...whats that all about?

Believe it or not, the SD card slot is for putting in a SD Card. Just another way of accessing audio files.

For the phone button to work the car needs to have the bluetooth module fitted. Unless it a late 2011 car, Bluetooth is an option.

Yes, the straps and clips in the boot are for the first aid kit and triangle, both also options and,are not supplied with the car.

Just look or feel under the drivers seat - if there is a styrofoam box fitted there - you have Bluetooth (the unit is inside it)!

On the question of which of those two cars would I pick - my response is that I would not put myself in the position of having to make such a fundamental choice between two such different cars (ie DSG v manual). In my view the choice between the two powertrains should be sorted out before you start looking and comparing individual cars.
