    Looks really nice/mean... especially next to the golf.

    Not having seen it in the flesh but ftom photo's I can observe.

    Instrument layaout not like the Golf R - looks like any other WV

    The door trim doesnt allow a big drink bottle like the GOlf R

    The seat shape looks horrible

    happy to have my Golf R - wouldnt get me in the roc for the above reasons...oh and its not awd.....slip & slide all through winter.. actually thats what the R does...The roc will just spin and not move

    I guess you can't help it if you can't drive... perhaps the Rocco would just have too much power for you..

    Not really sure why you felt the need to come into this thread and start bagging the Scirocco...maybe you are jealous...

    Definitely not bagging the car- its a little ripper and there is nothing about it that remotely deserves bagging
    I was actually surprised to see a different instrument cluster and as for the door trims- I am now used to having the bigger slot for a drink but it's no deal breaker. Awd - just having some fun

    Relax. It's a magnificent car
