Scirocco Central

Hi guys, just trying to make my mind up on which colour to get.

Been trying to find a rising blue roc in the sevenoaks area to look at in the flesh but no dealers seem to have one!
If anyone has one that i could take a quick look at id be most grateful

Cheers

Steve

Anyone? Its a toss up between a Candy or Rising, but i really want to be sure before ordering!

Personally, I think it's got to be Candy White all the way. Whilst Rising Blue is a great colour in itself, I think the white just suits the Roc better - it looks much crisper.

Yeh i know what you mean, im finding myself swaying towards it the more i see it in white!

Just dont want to have that moment when i finally see a blue one and think Nooooooooo i like that better, too late then :/

How you finding the 1.4 (160) fella, does it feel powerful enough for the roc? Thats what im looking to get, along with Interlagos/fogs/tints/multifuntion steering wheel

(seventysix hasn't got his roc yet hes only ordered it as it says in his profile )

Ahhh i seeee cheers for pointing that out!

True - so all I've got to go on is the test drive. I took it out for about an hour on dual-carriageway and country roads and I thought the performance was good - not hair raising but still nice and eager. At the end of the day, whilst I would have loved to get the 2.0, stretching to the extra moolah was never going to be an option for me and I really wanted a Scirocco, for obvious reasons.

I reasoned with myself that performance is on a par with my last car and handling is excellent for its class, whilst economy and emissions were far better - plus it fulfils the 'it's a Roc' criteria even without the 2.0 engine - so that's why I went with it in the end.

Since then, I've been reassured through this community that if I end up longing for the extra performance, I can take a blat down the Daventry road to Revo and in a few minutes, get me and extra 60 horses for considerably less than a 2.0...

Well i havent had a long test drive in one, literally 5 mins!

Ive currently got an ibiza FR which had a revo map on it (about 210bhp from 150), was the best £500 ive ever spent.

So thats my theory too, it will be a step down in terms of power, but then the option is always there

Cant beleive how hard it is to find a rising blue locally, no dealers within 50 miles has one....

You prob already have but have you tried looking on autotrader? Any being sold second hand you could go have a look at? I am not to far from good old 7oaks use to go to The Black Boy, Oak tree all the time back in the day . But I ain't got my Roc yet or ordered Rising Blue

edit: Just had a look and there seems to be a few 2nd hand ones in Haywards Heath VW garage about 25 miles from 7oaks!

You legend, dont know why i never thought about going to look at 2nd hand ones lol!
Nice one fella

Well I'm going to be bias, but I much prefer Rising Blue! Every other one you see on the road is a Candy the blue is a really striking colour. If I lived closer to you I'd have let you come and have a look at mine but I'm about 200 miles away!

Hehehe, no worries fella, appreciate the offer though

Im gonna get on the case this weekend to see one, even if it means a little drive further out!

Want to make up my mind by tuesday so i can get my order in, would be great to get it before the end of summer :0)
