Still liking my Scirocco a lot. The Scirocco being such a nice car has made me think about cancelling the GTD a few times when my BW jumped from 26 to 33. It certainly beats being in a powder blue Beetle while waiting for the MK7.  :whistle:

I think it's quite satisfying to know that with all the arsing around that came with my order, my Scirocco has depreciated so much in the extended wait that my dealer is going to make almost f**k-all from it.

Less of the p!ss take out of the powder blue courtesy car. Had enough from the lads today at footy. It's poor economically for a 1.6 diesel. Maybe it's my driving technique considering its not mine.  :whistle:

Never been a big fan of the scirocco. From the from it looks okay but the rear is end is fugly and the proportions are all wrong

The rear is it's least attractive side, but there are very few cars that have a meaner looking front end. When I saw what the MK6 was going to look like I had to have a Scirocco - no contest. The MK7 is a big improvement on the MK6, enough to bring me back.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Not a fan of the 1.6TDI - it sounds very rattly next to the 2.0 and the economy gains over the 2.0TDI are so small I wonder why VW went to the trouble of developing it rather than put out a detuned 110/120PS 2.0TDI unit.

It is punchy but minute your right foot applies pressure it's fuel economy goes down significantly
