' Volkswagen Scirocco ' Test Drive & Review - TheGetawayer

Since my dad used to own a VW Scirocco Mk.1 , I wanted to find out, if the latest one feels anything like the car from the 70s.
Eventhough it isn't really a spectacular car to drive with this small 1.4 TSI engine, I think it is another fine example of the fact that Volkswagen builds some of the best daily-driver cars in the world.

I'm getting my black Scirocco R in a few weeks and would be really excited if you could test that one too ;-)

Do you have to pay the full price for renting these cars or do you get them for free through your job?

[TheGetawayer]

@rtlkevin : Scirocco R ? Wow, what a good choice !

Yes, I had to pay the full price and getting specific cars wasn't possible either. But with my reviews getting more and more views and good ratings, I'm hoping to get a chance to get them for free in the future...

If you wanted to test a sports car why did you tested the 1.4 TSI 122 bhp and not the 160 bhp Scirocco?I own it and I am very happy to have it!!!With 6.8 lt/100 km consumption instead of yours 7.something /100 km.And yes,the world is elevating and nothing is gonna be like it used to be in the 70's.Welcome to the 21st century...

@PetrolheadTSI : I only talk about cars in my reviews that I actually drove and I didn't get the chance to drive the 160 bhp version. I know its better.

Apart from that I think most people that like Sciroccos or even owned other VW Coupes, like my review. So I don't understand why you don't.

In end the Scirocco 3 is what the very first one was: A sportscar ( and some people wouldn't even give a Scirocco this label ) based on a VW Golf...That's its hertitage ( in 21th century)

@nosxpress : As far as I know the Scirocco has a different suspension and should be a bit faster around bends...Since the engine is the same ( talking about the 211bhp -version that you asked about), I think the Scirocco takes the lead in performance...Fuel shouldn't be a real difference either...The Golf is more practical and comfortable, the Scirroco a bit faster and feels more like a sportscar

[nosxpress]

@TheGetawayer Golf GTI or Scirocco TSI ? Which is better on performance n fuel consumption?

[TheGetawayer]

@Driftuner : Korrekt

[Driftuner]

das ist ein europcar mietwagen nicht?!)))

[DreamerforeverMetal]

you review VW and Audi, you can speak English very well, you are pretty objective.

SUB :p

@friendlytaipei : There are so many people that write and claim that this engine is great, I really don't understand all the fuss about it.

Takes too much fuel for me and doesn't offer enough torque.

People tend to forget that todays cars are quite heavy, this 1.4 TSI in the Scirocco 1 however, that would be a firecracker :)
