I like it but doesn't seem to be sporty enough IMO. Looks as though its a Golf Match equivelant. If they release a lower, sportier GTi esque machine then that could look incredible! Time will tell as its still early doors!
-
cool, will be takin a look on my dinner :smiley:
-
nice, luv the look! wont tempt me away from me GTI though + all the unconfirmed talk of the MK6 GTI-R very exciting stuff!
-
looks very smart. still glad i went for the GTI though
-
Lister's Stratford have one in their showroom :wink:
Im still not sure, but will make my mind up when I get behind the wheel. It will take ALOT to part me from mt ED30!!

I think I feel a trip to the stealers coming on! :wink:
-
From that angle it looks a bit like a Volvo C30 with a different front bumper.
Not a bad thing imo, but it lacks the C30's widearch style :sad:.
-
Am I the only one that really likes them? I think in 3 years time when its time to part company with the GTI these babbies might tempt me. All depends on how much the S3s are going for in 3 years time (I cant belive im thinking about my next car, what is wrong with me !!!!??)

....I've got a silver DSG Scirocco to drive tomorrow morning. :cool:
I hasten to add that I'm not buying one though and my dealer knows that. GTI-R is of more interest.

Sorry, but just doesn't do it for me i'm afraid.. Just needs something IMO (apart from a KO4 :wink:), but can't think what... :huh:
Don't like that colour either.. Put down some impressive performance stats though when Evo mag tested it.. :shocked:
-
Sorry, but dont like it at all. :sad:
Looking forward to the Mk6 though, saving up my pennies :wink:
-
I just saw one in the same blue as that in Odiham (Hampshire), had Press Office on the number plate carrier.
Thoughts: Does look slightly better in the flesh and the proportions are good but I would certainly wait to see what future versions (more sporty looking) might be available and what the Mk6 Golf GTi will be like!
First impressions from RR when he has driven it will also be interesting too!

There's a full group test of a DSG one in the new EVO magazine. Get's a very good review - they like the adaptive dampers that they reckon are standard on all early UK cars - Comfort, Normal & Sport Settings. They say the car felt properly sorted, and around the Bedford Autodrome the Scirocco was deeply impressive - nimble with great traction :smiley: It posted the best lap times of the four cars tested, the other three being a Volvo C30T5, BMW 123D and a Mazda RX-8 R3. It also posted the quickest 0-100mph at 15.9 secs. Came 2nd overall to the Mazda in the end but the Scirocco was the most rounded of the four 4 by far :grin:
-
Yep, I've seen that review and the 'rocco comes up trumps.
I like the 'rocco and a proper sport version would be tempting :cool:
-
Hayseldens Barnsley rang me a few weeks back inviting me to the launch. He was gonna ring back with the date..
Guess they forgot huh.! :sad:
-
get to the dealers and have a look :cool:

You got me excited then.......Thought the ED30 plaques had arrrived!!! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
front grill - great
Side profile - good
Rear - fat arse, wide hips. Love child of a megane and an Astra.
Was tha picture taken at Richard Alexander Huddersfield by any chance?
-
yes fella it was and the leeds branch have one with the glass roof
-
not sure i like it yet...
-
I'm the same, I want to like it cos everyone's bin raving about it, but I'm really not sure :undecided:
-
I may have to pop over to Chesterfield this afternoon as Gilders said they would have one by now too. :smiley:
-
Just went down to my local stealer's to have a look. I was undecided when looking at the pics but in the flesh i have to say i loved it.Its so unusual close up the back end could be better but when you stand close to the back it is really noticeable how low the rear end is, the best feature is 20:inch rim's will fit under the arche's with normal size tyre's on, the 18's looked tiny, the interior was very classy aswel.
If a 2.0 R version show's up then that will be my new car.
2 people were ordering one while i was there i think VW are on to a winner. :cool:
-
I have a white one ordered for late September hopefully.I went to see the showroom car at Warrington Volkswagen and was really pleasantly surprised.It looks SO much better than the pics and vids i'd seen.
Having previously owned a Mk5 GTI with DSG i cant wait to get my mitts on it,definately putting BBS on it though.If anyone is privvy to the hub size/offset info i'd very much appreciate knowing as at the moment i'm finding it hard to find out.

Congrat's Noj it's :afro: have you tried tyre smoke they have got a bit of info on there.

I saw two transports full of them and the new Passat CC this morning going up the M40, every one of them was either blue or white.
I definatly have to pop into the dealers over the weekend to at least have a look.
-
....Just got back from most of the day with a silver DSG Scirocco - Now need to sort out my pics and do the write-up.
Will be posting on Biali Motorsport with links here when posted.

I wasn't sure from the photo's I had seen before, but now like some others have said I would be very tempted if a more powerful version came along. :drool:
-
Not doing it for me in black............. :cry: :cry: :cry:
-
I have to wonder about the marketing, surely its gonna take sales away from the golf, its aimed at the same market
-
I must do, also its cheaper to boot.

....It's definitely a coupe! Having spent most of today with one, I'm certain it's not a hatchback! Or, if someone wants to be really pedantic, it's a much better coupe than it is a hatchback.
I'm currently doing my write-up for posting. I've now sorted out 25 pics ready to upload.

Not being pedantic, just being the devil's advocate. :wink: :evil:

....Hi Tagnu - That "pedantic" remark of mine wasn't meant at anyone in particular and certainly not at you, mate :smiley:
