Advantages: Great Looks

Disadvantages: Pricey

WOW!! VW can sure make cars. I have previously owned a Ford Focus RS, and an Astra VXR, after driving a Golf GTI, I was blow away with the huge difference in build quality handling and overall drivablity.

Then i drove the Scirocco, with the 2.0 Turbo engine (same as the GTI). This car is so solid with a sport or comfort setting for the suspension that actually works, there is a big difference between the two.

The performance is much the same in terms of acceleration, however, throw it into a corner and you see where the Scirocco scores points on the GTI. That said, the new MK6 GTI will be out soon, so i expect that to handle equal to the Scirocco.

What swung me with the MK6 GTI launch in mind was the looks, understated but classy to suit all occasions, it turns heads but not in a vulgar way, not in a boy racer chav way either but a way that people wonder what a beautiful car it is as they double take the VW badge.

Bottom line, best car i have driven so far, and it will take some beating, highly recommended.

Summary: Great car - pick up a pre reg

Not a bad review, but I would have liked to have read a little more about the running costs, mpg, insurance and likely depreciation.
Everyt hing that I've read about the new Scirocco says that this is a modern classic - great to drive too - not always the same thing! Pity about the majority of truly awful VAG dealers though! Richard.
