VW Scirocco for Australia. Any Golf R buyers thinking of swapping?

Have to agree with Corey, that interior looks Korean design inspired. Looks fugly!

VWs are super conservative for super conservative people

conservative is what makes a car disirable in years to come, its like fashion jeans are conservative but always in (in some forms)

No haven't driven this particular model but haven driven other Astra's and read many reviews of other astra performance models and it just doesn't compare to the beautiful car you own already.

And yes I'm a badge snob

would prefer telling people I drive a GTI/R or my current ride (Cooper S) over an Astra anyday.

Top engine in the GTC at the moment is a 132kw/1.6L turbo. So its nearest competitor would be a Scirocco with the 1.4TSFI engine.

There is no guarantee that they will bring that here anytime soon. They would be more interested in a hot version of the 5 door hatch (SRi) to run against the Golf GTI.

That is what I have been saying all this while about the MkV's unstated interior vs the MkVIs (chrome accents on the vents and almost OTT cannon barrelled instrument binnacle - ala Datsun 120Y).
