VW Scirocco 1984-
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Pick a decent one up for less than a grand. Insurance appalling.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very economical. 40mpg+ from 1.8 and 1.8i. Average servicing costs from VW. New VW spares expensive.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Driver's car. No power steering, heavy cable clutch and bumpy ride. Not for the faint hearted.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent accelaration from short gear ratios - top-end is eye-opening.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    It's a VW, simple.

    Retro sports car looks. Classy. Keep it standard.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It's an old sportscar - bumpy and rough. Comfy hugging seats though.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Dreadful - get a CAT2 at least.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    VW main dealer were not quick, but excellent job when done.
