The Scirocco - Have you driven one?
« on: 01 September 2010, 19:13 »
When I bought my mk6 GTI the wife said, "It looks just the same as your last car" (which was a MK5 GT TDI) then proceeded to point to another car.

"Now there's a car that looks sporty and different inside." To be fair it felt a very different seating position.   She was pointing to the Scirocco 2.0 TSI.

Although I don't regret my purchase I do wish I had driven one.

Has anyone driven a Scirocco?  How do they compare with Golfs when driven?

Golf GTI mk6 DSG in black - 18inch Monza shadows - leather interior - sat nav - f/r parking sensors - heated seats - well it was a showroom model!

I took one out for a test drive but that was it.

OK I suppose but the interior etc. of the Golf is streets away; the Roc looks dated by comparison.

Drove one before deciding on the GTi. Needed 5 doors. Did not like the dashboard as it is from an Eos.
'rocco 'A' pillars were so thick, I nearly had an accident!

i drove one. didnt like it at all!

hated the rear view mirror adjusters position. poor visibility. dated dash that looks worse than the mk5. cramped rear cabin. not so great driving position.

Great to drive, but the interior is really boring and they all look the same (TDI, TSI...). Also, you only get two doors, which is no good for me. If I had to get a Scirocco, it would be the R, otherwise the GTI wins hands down, IMHO.

Nice cars and they get great reviews. However I just don't like the car from the back. It looks to wide and squashed down from the rear for liking. The car has a J.Lo bottom and I prefer Kyle :smiley:

When I first saw it I was gobsmacked. Thought it was lovely. Now I just think it has dated so much and I'm glad I never pursued my interest in them.
