Stay well clear of the VW DSG gearbox mate.
Google is your friend on this trust me.

watch old Top Gear with May/Clarkson/Hammond - they did one of them a Sierra Cozzy and an M3 - The Merc didn't do that well - then again the M3 they bought was a fucking death trap

I did remember right then? There was a long discourse on here with owners of VAG products with the DSG box all moaning it was shit

Had the 170 not the DSG from new.
Sold it earlier this year after having it for 6 years as needed something that I could easily get a child seat into!
loved the car that engine was brilliant genuinely miss it!
No idea about the DSG!
(has to be rising blue though!!)

I really like it and haven't had any problems with it.

I had this one a proper scirocco, the new one is a bit meh tbh
Like you say, proper car.
Never owed one but know 2 people who bought one brand new.
Both sold them after 12 months because of all the problems they had, one of which was a mechanic.
That being said, they both bought them when they were first released, so a lot of the problems could have been fixed (maybe).
Get an original one like the pics in this thread. Though I'm a 80's and 90's car guy so that's just me : )

The one i'm looking at is a 2012 model, with the 170 engine. I've read about issues with the DSG but that these were more related to the models released between 2008-2010 on the Scirocco and since then, they've been all good. Is that different to what other people have heard?
