Volkswagen Scirocco R (10 on) - Review Review by Simon McBride on 03 August 2010 The R is the hottest variant in the Scirocco line-up. With its rakish lines and throaty soundtrack, the VW Scirocco R is a racy number. It has additional styling cues that set it apart from the standard models but it's when you get behind the wheel that you really notice the difference. A power output of 261bhp makes the Scirocco R on a par with the Volkswagen Golf R and the SEAT Leon Cupra R but it's when you consider the whole package - the looks as well as performance - that the Scirocco tops the lot. Read on to find out why the Scirocco R is the best mainstream coupe on the market. 4.5 out of 5 Other Volkswagen reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £30,575 - £31,975 View all new prices Used price range: £20,730 - £27,250 View all used prices Get a Volkswagen Scirocco R (10 on) information pack Next steps Volkswagen Scirocco R cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
