How was the ride???

Thanks for the pics... But it looks like the car rides high. The official VW photos make seem lower...

[frozze]

wow.. loving the green!

Spotted at VW South Yarra , VIC today (not sure how long they have had it for)



Still haven't heard anything further on delivery of my R

[why_999]

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

Looks like it grips to the road well!

Ummm what are the differences??

OH NO.....

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...

[Rosey456]

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

What is different in the Instrument Cluster from the pic below (Official VWA press release photo).


The Centre Console and Radio / Central Vent area ia a little different.. but that has always been the case with Scirocco...

[mr_bzr]

I think he is talking about the instrument cluster like the speedo and the tacho. IN the press photo its got like those two barrels around it akin to the Golf GTI/R etc, where as in the photo at the dealer it was just flat like say in a polo.

I am pretty sure it is all in the angle of the photos. Have a look at the first photo in post 2... the Barrel / Bezel is certainly there... although I will have a close look tomorrow when I take an RB Roc for a run, I am pretty sure they have a Golf R there as well.

Until the Roc passes you with the driver smiling so hard as he is having a better time.

Mr_bzr

Exactly
They are def different ( not that there's anything wrong with that)
