Volkswagen Scirocco (2008 - 2018) 2.0 TDI (170bhp) GT (Nav/Leather) 3d DSG (2012/12) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm an Individual, the new Golf is better in many ways, 'on paper' than my Scirocco, but is boring to look. I get comments all the time from people saying they like it, or they want one.

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

I'm yet to speak to anyone who has a bad word to say about it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would, it meets all my needs, and makes me smile everytime I drive it.

What are you likely to buy next?

I have been looking at the new Audi TT, but would also seriously consider another Scirocco.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£23,000

When did you buy the car?

September 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

I feel I got a good deal, as I originally went in to pur.chase a 1 year old vehicle, but was offered a new vehicle, with better spec, in the colour I wanted for less money.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was pretty good, althought the person I originally did the deal with was not able to complete the deal and had to refer me to his manager, which made the process a bit long winded.

What's it like to drive?

With the DSG gearbox and 2.0D 170 PS engine, it is a delight to drive.

What's it like to park?

Parking is not so good, as 3/4 rear visability is restricted. My only regret is not haveing parking aid or camera.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I had a minor rattle, that the dealer fixed promptly. Other than that, I've had no problems.

What's most practical about your car?

Boot space is much bigger than expected.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Really like the was the ICE works, very intuative, iPod connected and is very easy to access, bluetooth connection for phone is seamless.
