Car reviews

The Scirocco badge hasn't been seen on a new car since 1992 when production of the two-door model ceased. But Volkswagen has resurrected the name for this new coupe and with striking looks, sporty handling and strong performance it follows in the footsteps of the original. It certainly stands out thanks to the distinctive profile and aggressive front end but it's the handling which really impresses. Agile and surefooted it's great fun on twisting roads while a new adaptive suspension system means it's comfortable and smooth on the motorway too. Add in a choice of excellent engines - including the same 2.0 TSI that's used in the Golf GTi - and the Scirocco is a sure-fire hit.
