Tigger73's Scirocco R

[tigger73]

So may have just sold the Scirocco on the weekend.

Wasn’t really intending to but got offered a good price and my wife who has been driving it for the past 6 months really wanted an SUV as a daily.

Another Tiguan?

Though I'd recommend an Amarok V6 580TDI .... with stg 2 tune of course .... show those Stg 3 Tiguans how its done

BTW, I understand stg 2+ V6 Amaroks are doing 0-100 in just under 5s ..... just food for thought

It looks like Mrs Tigger is heading to a rival German marque - she's fallen in love with a 2016 X1 xDrive25i...

Still waiting on buyers finance to get finalised on the Scirocco but likely it'll be leaving the drive later on this week.

Scirocco left the drive tonight

Another chapter and another very happy new Scirocco owner.

I've been having heretical thoughts of selling mine lately too. Contenders include Porsche Cayman S 987 manual, Audi RS5 V8, Audi TT-RS (so something fast, sexy, less than 10 years old, German, fun, and around the $50k mark), or, totally different, one of the last L320 Range Rover Sports (2012/2013).
I don't do that many kms anymore so I don't need the piece of mind of a new car warranty and all that...

Easy one for me, and one I am going to think about down the track - Audi RS5.

Still looks oh so right today, and some reasonable examples are heading towards the $50k mark.. although if I hadn't just let my wheels go from the RS3, I might have had a sniff on yours when you let it go.

The only thing wrong with the Scirocco is that they canned the Mk4 Scirocco and didn't give it all the latest tech like adaptive cruise etc. After driving cars with it stepping into a car without is like jumping into a car from last century. Admittedly it's only been out in the last generation of cars but anything without it really feels its age (at lest for me anyway). This is why I don't understand why the (German) manufacturers are still choosing to keep it as an option pack when this stuff really ought to be standard equipment on a modern car. It's actually what makes it a modern car. Otherwise you may as well have just bought a 5 year old Audi RS5 with the V8.

If you were wanting a drivers car I'd go the Porsche Cayman S with the 3.4 litre 6 cylinder.

Still hanging for the 8 cylinder engine. You'll get it one day we all know it

Maybe. Some of the maintenance, and insurance, can be horrendous. The RS badge when combined with digits above 3 have not been kind on the analysis front.
