Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    • Scirocco? I'm with Cory on that one. I think they have an ugly rear end. But then, the Megane is an ugly looking creature. But I had considered it originally after reading reviews. Great drivers car, but just too ugly for me!

      Scirocco, no leather option - that sucks! VW will miss a lot of market with that one. Though I have heard you can go after market leather and almost perfectly match or better the factory leather for less money. The heated seats and side air bags might be an issue though.

      For me - I would nor buy a golf without leather, i fibd it such an improvement over jacky, but that's just me!

      • Well after living in Europe and seeing roccos all over the place, I would have to say that they are a FAR better looking car externally than the Golf and that rear end looks mean, it grows on you as you see more of them.....unlike middle aged women and Serena Williams.

        What I didn't like was the interior, it had a "tacky" feel to it compared to the Golf.

        • Arguing "looks" is as pointless as trying to argue about whether the colour blue is better than the colour red. It's in the eye of the beholder

                  You seem to think I prefer the colour blue just to insult you.

                          I agree with the leather option thing, but I somehow don't think VW are overly concerned with Aust rocco market at this stage of it's run, I think they are treated it similar to the MK5 GTI Pirelli.

                            It was more amusing reading the comments below the clip. My current daily is the slowest I've owned in 8 years, but by far the best to date!

                                Talk to Candyman, he has just moved from the GTI to the R. He will tell you the only advice you failed to take was to get it in RB
