Scirocoo GT DSG
Discussion
So after a year with my Golf I decided to have a bit of an upgrade so enquired about Golf 7 and Scirocco's. Due to waiting lists on the Golf 7 I decided that the Scirocco would probably be the better option.
My Golf was a 1.6TDi 105 Match so fairly well specced, but felt a bit flat at times, it took me around the country, covering nearly 18k in 12 months(ish) including Scotland in the depth of winter (Thanks to winter tyres!) and Silverstone for the GP last month. Pretty sad to see it go really.
But onto the Scirocco, it's the baby diesel, only a 140. But it feels a bit brisker than the Golf, the DSG is a welcome change from a conventional manual and it feels quite lively in corners when in Sport mode on the chassis control. I decided to go for the upgraded nav too, for the DVD playback facility and HDD to store music.

Congrats OP always been a massive fan of these, my first taste of one was a 2.0 DSG petrol which was quick but I'm not sure I could live with how thirsty it was. The diesel seems like a much better bet especially seen as you can easily upgrade them when you get bored, although I've also heard the 1.4 tsi engine is good at delivering both performance and economy
