....Would this topic be more appropriately posted in "Chat - VW related" ?? I don't know - There's definite interest here, but.

You're right about the odd rear styling. The last picture from behind did make the back look a bit odd. At every other angle though it looks stunning!  :laugh:
I can see the modding community (AKA most of the VW community  :tongue:) having fun with it :smiley:.

Very good write up RR. :cool: :cool:

I thought when I had a go in one this week that with similar mods to what the majority of Gti owners carry out in their car would the Scirocco be the better car? I think yes and it will "steal" sales from the Gti where potential owners would have a 3 door.
I thought the build quality better than the Golf with the leather seats being the most noticible improvement in the quality and finish department.

Good review RR :afro: I was reading in a mag that the scirocco was going to be the new Audi TT  :shocked:

Also the 2.0T engine is not the same as the golf GTI 2.0T engine :huh:

Thanks RR, almost feel like I have been in the car myself now after your review!

Are you gunning for a job in Top Gear? :) ....spammiest job on telly, except for Kylie's bikini line inspector that is :)

Great review there RR, burning the midnight oil.  :wink: I love the front end and the whole car looks low and sleak in side profile. BUT I just can't get over that fat rear end and wide hips!!! Also the dials, they look so plain after the GTI. I thought that they might have used the GTI cowels, but I'm glad they didn't.

Thanks RR.  Top bloke.  Was wondering about the power you described.  How does it compare to your standard GTI before all the mods?  Reviews would say its lower profile means it's slightly more agile but that the power delivery is the same.

For the record I think it looks very sleek but I'm not completely sold on the looks.  I don't think it is quite as aggressive as the GTI.  I think I will wait a while to see what editions of it they bring out next year.

Very good write up RR, i completely agree with how colour sensitive the car is...that silver looked lovely!!! (And i dont normally like silver cars)! Am I right in saying this has the same engine as the GTi ?
