Scirocco R available now!

[Andych]

All stealers who are going to get a Demo car for Test Drive will have one now...
This came today....


Have you booked yours??? It will be interesting to see if there are any other colours than Rising Blue in the Demo fleet...

I spoke to our local dealer and they said the Scirocco's were purely teasers and VWA weren't allowing them to put them on the road and yeah the dealers had a choice of colour, but mine chose rising blue and it looks amazing - saw it on the back on a transporter a few days ago and let out a little squeal haha

Had a test drive of one yesterday.
though only a manual shift, car was very nice..smooth and deep growlly engine sounds better than my GTI. Suspension is acceptable.
only gripe is being to sit rather high despite seat at lowest setting and a high lip to the boot.

Burwin=Kermit Green

Well your Dealer is WRONG.. as shown by the e-mail in my post 3 above. They certainly are available for test drive... I had a quick spin around the dealership today (Car was not plated and they were about to have their Crissy Party) and I have booked Thursday for an extended drive. It is Rising Blue, DSG and they have tinted the windows... Pics will be happening as well...

I was actually quite impressed with the boot... considering. the high lip doesn't worry me.

Well in that case expect some Scirocco pics in my photography thread straight after new years, they already said they'd give me a sneaky play overnight or for a weekend so now they've got not excuse!

Exactly right... my extended test drive will feature at least 1 stop for photos...

It appears that the Scirocco has the same seats as a Passat CC or R36? I could be wrong but they look the same. I am heading down next week to have a look at one. What VIC dealers have them at the moment?

Saw one at Camberwell VW driving home tonite, a grey one.

Had aquick/10min test drive in a viper green manual today and dealer was good enough to let me give it a proper go. They also supposedly took delivery of rising blue dsg demo today. initial impressions are great exhaust note, thought suspension was good even in sport mode on a surface that was average, goes much harder and is much tighter than my mkv gti (no surprise but feels brutal in comparison, which is great...)rear visibility not great but not as bad as reported in my opinion, i reckon interior is let down by lack of leather option and my gti with leather is nicer inside but i will get over it! Bring on mid-end of jan when my reflex silver Rocco arrives!

Should also note that was impressed with XDL, which seemed to do a really good job removing wheel spin

Had a very brief view of a Rising Blue Scirocco R as it hove into view about 100 metres ahead of me at some speed around the corner and then accelerated absolutely flat out along the road past me up to maybe 120kmh+.

Sounded nice.

Cheers to whoever was driving the Kedron VW demo this arvo.

Which boat is yours on? Mine is on the Elektra which is due into Port Kembla around the 26th January.
That will make it a mid Feb delivery into my hands...
