999pooch,

Skoda Superb 280 4x4 next??

Lease prices are ^^^. I did look, but not good value because of poor residuals :(

I going to try and sit in a Rocco R this weekend. Just to rule in / out. Stonking value, & at that price I'm not too fussy

Very good deal.  If you're tall like me you'll need to take some grease to prize yourself in and out - it's a very low roof line!

That's the worry. I also pop to the cash & carry a couple of times a week, so need to see what the boots like with the seats folded

900pooch,

 

When you go in to test drive in the Sirocco R, why don't you ask what info they have on price / spec on Golf GTI Clubsport.

Just contacted my VW dealer  about the above Clubsport , the sales exec says they are still waiting info from VW UK, having . had several local enquiries from potential customers..

Good call on the Clubsport, but I doubt it will be available in time for me :(

I've definitely done a full U-Turn on what car I want, or actually need.

Going to start looking at cheaper, honest cars, more suited for thr type of driving I'll be doing

I would de-badge this or put on A200CDi Badges,

fold the rear seats and be the happiest Cash & Carry shopper there is. 

999pooch,

 

 

Enjoy, if you struggle to get in then it's a years subscription for the local gym thrown in as part of the business deal.

 

Think the presenter is a Scottish Gentlemen incognito!!

 

Shame they edited getting in!

I have been following a new one earlier on today for a bit, 

they do not half have an odd ar3e,  a bit like me. Fugly things.

I don't mind the looks, space maybe an issue though.

Dare I mention Golf R estate again without sounding like a broken record?!

They didn't show that for the obvious reason!

Someones missus is just in the process of ordering an R Estate and no it's not Tom's

All that shopping!

Just seen the rumours of a Scirocco R 4WD in the wings

I think the happiest Cash & Carryist would use an RS6!

Not really, it would be a location location type thing,

which is probably why ATM robbers who can drive what ever they want might make the A45 AMG as the vehicle of choice,

the RS6 is rather wide for getting in parking bays (obviously using Parent Toddler or Disabled bays helps)

and on the best driving roads Scotland has.

OK then!

Even less space for the wholesaler trip then! Unfortunately.

I tend to think of the Scirocco as a 2-seater with a decent boot. Tends to work better that way in my head.

 

I don't envy full sized people being made to sit in the back of one, for any more than a trip across town.

George, finding this salesman very suspicious - did you ever go to Stage School!!

Steve,

How is it going for you, appreciate it's a stopgap for the Hyper Alfa?

Have you reviewed it on here?

I've posted a bit about it Keith in the superb pages. It's a good car, only gripe is a rattly dash and a propensity to guzzle diesel if you drive it hard, so 40 mpg is easily achievable. Drive it like it has a helium filled throttle pedal and I've seen 55. It's huge though and very comfortable. Ideal for wafting up motorways, as I do. Pretty grippy too, no worse than my mk2 octavia vrs.

So did you get to having the test drive.
