Emperor's new clothes?

By the way, Keelaw, 5-door  -  it's certainly more practical for me but don't you think the 3-door looks better  -

I'll get shot down in flames for this, but why would you buy a 3 door over a Scirroco?

you'll have to leave the country now....seriously, the Golf has the 5 seats I need  -  I also like the look of the Golf  -  the Scirocco looks great but the Golf appeals to me more  -  the 'idea' of the Golf Gti is what attracts me, too....now, go and hide....

Just before I go, I will say that the Golf has the egde on practicality with small kids.

Our 4 and 5 year olds were sat in the back of a Scirocco, and due to the low seats and rising waistline, they couldn't see out. Also the seat bases are too long for them to sit without their legs sticking straight out, which meant the front seats couldn't be pushed back far enough.

Kids aside, I'd still have the Rocco,

Bye bye.

The 'Rocco' is a great looking car  -  but it's the Golf Gti for me for a few reasons  -  thanks, anyway

This is such a senseless and provocative statement, why don't you disappear into the Cumbrian countryside and keep your biased opinions to yourself.

Blue tooth  -  you say VW kit if Nokia rsap phone  -  fiscon if something else  -  what is fiscon? I've got an iphone.
almost £400 for the blue tooth/phone prep  -  cheaper equipment from Carfone Warehouse??

Most of the dealers do a £200-ish, VW approved Bluetooth touchscreen that sits on the dash, integrates with the Stereo etc.

Not as good as the Fiscon (fiscon.co.uk for details) and looks a bit sub-premium but works with pretty much any phone, less hassle etc. ... have it on mine!

[James Gould]

Thnx  -  I'd never head of Fiscon before getting onto the 'Forum'  -  is it good with an iphone? cost?

£350-ish, some dealers will fit it (mine wouldn't) so either DIY or possibly extra/travel to fit...not seen one, was going off Forum opinion when looking

thanks

Is it right that when driving the DSG in auto, it moves up to 6th too quickly and feels flat compared to the feeling in a manual? I also read that the DSG in Sport mode holds on to the lower gears too long - over revs - if that's the case, it would be annoying.
