Rocco Vs Competitors

[Vwphile]

Not quite sure why you think an MX5 is a competitor

MX5 and Roc are two door fun cars that handle well and are at Similar price point. Admittedly, one drives from the front and the other from the rear, the MX5 is a 2 seater but I won't be carrying more than one passanger anyway so not a deal breaker

ok I understand. I don't see them as competitors but get that they represent alternatives for you.

On the manual vs DSG ? The Dsg is a great option. It works well and I think still connects you tom the car in the way a torque convertor auto can't. Especially since VW updated the DSG feel some time ago (since I owned by DSG GTI). DSG takes awhile tom really get the feel of. If you do go the DSG route makes sure you put it into M and use the stick and paddles. In my view the DSG should only be used as an auto in traffic- once on the move it paddles and stick.

I recently went through the same process and ended up with 2 on short list being Roc and RS250 and in the end wasnt even close once I drove the DSG, only go with the RS250 if you want to do a lot of hard work behind the wheel to get the same smiile the Roc gives doing 60km/h

I fully agree with Shakespeare (i was at the same driver day as him) i was very impressed with the Scirocco and had a more enjoyable time driving it on the track than i did the Golf. I have even visited a local VW dealer to get prices on the Roc i was that impressed.
