Volkswagen Scirocco (2008 - 2018) 1.4 TSI 3d (2010/60) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

You have good taste, but depending on your age it could be a bit OTT. For a young male its the ideal way of having a fast car without appearing like a boy racer. this car is classy and sporty, something hard to find. in german cars especially.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

As far as I know they think its great. Had a few comments suggesting they'd have one if it werent for the 2 doors and only 4 seats.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes and I plan too. Through my work I drive many different cars but none feel as good as this to drive. Hopefully after a lot of saving and a good finance deal ill be able to get a new Scirocco R with the crazy 280 bhp but that is just a dream.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another Scirocco or if I can afford it possibly the new mercedes A class, although I think they are probaly more money for less car and just a flashy name.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£10,700

When did you buy the car?

November 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yeh, notbad, probably a fair price considering the tinted windows and alloys, and fairly low mileage.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Stunning looks, heard nothing but good reviews and these were confirmed upon a test drive. didnt need the practicality of a golf so scirocco was the no brainer choice.

What was the dealer like?

Sound guys, evans halshaw in livingston near edinburgh, effecient and easy to talk to.

What's it like to drive?

Brilliant. I've driven golfs before and they are great but I think the lower driving position makes the roc slightly better. gear changes are silky smooth, handles bueatifully and is never really uncomfortable. Have seen some people claiming that the roc is not an exciting drive but I think they couldnt be more wrong. you can get a lot of this car.

What's it like to park?

Nothing too difficult, but the wide back often feels like a struggle to get into tight bays.

Have you had any problems with the car?

TPS warning light keeps coming on even though tyres are always at the correct PSI. other than that flawless.

What's most practical about your car?

Most practical is the fact that with the rear seats down theres plenty space, if no though youll struggle. but overall while this car obviously isnt designed for practicallity, if youre like me with no children or heavy loads then its ample really.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I think the big alloys are essential, the plastically looking 17" ones just ruin the car, go for the turbine 18". also wish I had leather seats but this isn't really a must have.
