Afternoon Sir - just wondered if you were any closer to deciding whether you are getting a ROC!

It was your good work with the detailed post that was very informative when I first found out about the Rocco, and has helped me with getting some good information.

I'm actually enjoying a 48 hour test drive at the moment (arranged via my lease company) and my thoughts on Sir Rocco are very positive. (Copied from Audi Sport where I originally penned those thoughts)

'I'm hardly that well versed in the world of cars - not really driven that many. But to me it feels like a good one.

I can see why some may not like the looks - to me it looks fine, whereas the Mrs really likes it. You can see the Car's phat ass poking out in the wing mirrors!

The demo colour I have is rising blue; some would say too common a Rocco colour but for someone whose last 2 cars have been black then it feels fresh!. I like that, and white, but not sure if I'm fancying all that car washing if I chose white - black is hard enough!. The demo has sat nav and leather; good options but not ones I think I'd spec, should i get one. Expensive and not ones which are on my must have list. The interior is fine to me, though again I can see some who think its a tad bland. . But its doesn't offend me. Standard audio sound good, driving position excellent, & handling was fine.

Negatives, well not too many thankfully so far and none of them unexpected. The boot, whilst roomy enough, is not that easy to get shopping in and out. The interior area, such as the cupholders also look a little cheap, but its a cabin I wouldn't have a problem spending time in.'

Thanks for all your help Atlantis.

Misterc, thanks for the thanks. Glad to be of help.

I'm definitely getting a Scirocco - should be ordering in the next few weeks. I've held off for a bit as I was waiting until after I'd been to the Paris motor show (which was last week). I wanted to see what the MK6 GTi was like in the flesh before deciding whether to go for that or a 'roc.

The MK6 GTi was a bit of a disappointment in real life. It just looks too similar to my MK5. The white 'roc that they had on display looked much more special IMO. So that's what I'm going to order, with truffle leather, xenons, dab, dynaudio, parking sensors and folding mirrors. Just need to sort out a final lease quote on my company scheme

Good work and good choice sir.

I'm currently awaiting info from my gaffs leasing company to see if the lease cost is reasonable, hopefully it will be & then I may be getting one also!
