Volkswagen Scirocco (2008 - 2018) 2.0 TDI GT 3d (2010/60) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I have good taste. Lovely in blue.

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

Everyone likes it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would but I would like to try the petrol model especially the 'R'. On my budget It's probably one of the best cars I have owned.

What are you likely to buy next?

I don't know. I would like the 'R' version but I will keep this for a while.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£16,250

When did you buy the car?

March 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Does anyone ever gets enough from a dealer but Arnold Clarke, Winsford worked with me to get as good a part ex value for my trade in as I could have hoped for.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Looked nice and when test drove the 1.4 petrol it drove well but wanted the diesel.

What was the dealer like?

Not heard good things about Arnold Clarke so better than I had expected.

What's it like to drive?

This car is well built. It's solid, excellent to drive. I do a 40 mile round trip to work, though mostly dual carriage way and motorway I'm getting approx. 50 mpg and I don't hang about. My only criticism is it could do with a little more power but on the move acceleration is fine. I only have the 140bhp so can't comment on the higher output car.

What's it like to park?

It has rear parking sensors which are a great help. Without these I imagine it would be awful.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No but only had the car about 4 months.

What's most practical about your car?

The car is a 3 door coupe. The boot is not a bad size and the rear seats fold forward, if not flat.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

That auto tint rear view mirror is a gem and the climate control is ice cold in summer.
