Scoutckl628 1st Gear June 9, 2009 Share June 9, 2009 Hi guys, I just need some advise. Between the 2 (scirocco vs 118 or 120) which do u actually prefer? Both are 2 doors, price almost same, power wise I think scirocco shd win slightly, looks wise each got their good point. Actually i prefer roc but come to think of it with that $$$ i can get myself a BM, still better than a VW right? I may even get from 2nd hand mkt for a 2008 BM which even cheaper..... s--t man really hard to convince myself to get a ROC ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturtles 6th Gear June 9, 2009 Share June 9, 2009 Sirocco has better accessories at a lower price point the 118 only has manual aircon dials, and non electric seats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddie 3rd Gear June 9, 2009 Share June 9, 2009 118i is really low spec and even though it has 5 doors and 5 seats (compared to 3 doors and 4 seats for the Scirocco), there's very little rear legroom. Power wise the VW definitely wins, although the 1 Series has the advantage of rear wheel drive so the handling might be a bit sweeter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiralty 4th Gear June 9, 2009 Share June 9, 2009 if drive 118, nobody will look. if looked, surething you poor-man. if drive iroc, many people look. this guy sooo good, get to drive iroc.... joke aside, iroc seems more interesting. 118 like aunty/ -car. IMHO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoutckl628 1st Gear June 9, 2009 Author Share June 9, 2009 yup fully agreed to u guys. That's why my heart also go with ROC. 118 only the badge worth the $$$ ha ha. But i nvr know the 118 has so limited accessories, think shd go down have a look man. I only tested the 2L ROC last Sat, one word "shiok". Dont know when the new GOLF came out in July will the price for ROC 2L drop or not, if drop than hosei liao since my car coming 3 yrs and its time to upgrade liao....

Go to PML & look @ 130 wif ///M kit. it. For Scirocco, driver leg room is very cramp as there is a odd plastic pillar rite next to accelerator. Based on my seat position, rear passenger has plenty of legroom. For 118/120, u have miss d boat to buy 2008 production for about 90 - 95k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoutckl628 1st Gear June 9, 2009 Author Share June 9, 2009 Bro iROC is $122k, 118 is $117k, 120C is $159k & 130 is $150k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoutckl628 1st Gear June 9, 2009 Author Share June 9, 2009 Bro is there a odd plastic for iROC? I went test drive last Sat nvr realised that.... hee hee. I'm pretty alright with the leg room bcos of my height (160). Woh nvr realised there's such good offer for their 2008 production, shxt...... Anyway quite true as per u said, one is TC and one is entry level but for the price paying for the iROC, one may just consider the BM even just for the entry level.

However, if you are buying a car as a display item, ROC wins in terms of looks, & 1 series in terms of badge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear June 9, 2009 Share June 9, 2009 If you're comparing Scirroco 2L with GTI engine to 118, it's no contest. Scirocco for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbonetics 2nd Gear June 9, 2009 Share June 9, 2009 definitely Scirroco for my choice. otherwise i will get the 135. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
W210k 1st Gear June 9, 2009 Share June 9, 2009 (edited) Fifth Gear compared the VW Scirocco 2.0 TSI with the BMW 125i Coupe (note: not even the 135i coupe, or the 130i hatchback) on the track. Being an RWD, the Beemer handled better round the track and was 'much more stable on the brakes' than the VW. The Scirocco's being FWD, did not fare well with its electric power steering - which was deemed 'too light'. The 125i eventually beat the Scirocco, by a mere 1.5 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri8Rz7zk3fM So it depends on what you want. For me, my priority list between the 1-er and VW will be (top = best): - 135i Coupe - 130i Hatch - 125i Coupe - VW Golf GTI Mk VI - VW Scirocco 2.0 TSI For now at least, all the above, except the Scirocco, are made in Germany. The Scirocco is made in Portugal. Edited June 9, 2009 by W210k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoutckl628 1st Gear June 9, 2009 Author Share June 9, 2009 Bro I oredi tested iRoc last Sat but yet to try the Beemer.... maybe its time to test test do you like to drive? why don't you do a test-drive and see which one you like.

Scoutckl628 1st Gear June 9, 2009 Author Share June 9, 2009 Woh a 125i is 30k more than a iROC leh and I truely believe 125i shd be much better in handling than iROC. But just a question, with that 30k if we use it to mod iROC, u think which will be better?

Paddie 3rd Gear June 9, 2009 Share June 9, 2009 There was an article in Autocar mag last year comparing the Scirocco 2.0 and 125i coupe. I still remember the mag's cover line, 'New Scirocco beats BMW' ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
