VW Scirocco 1984-
  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Average really.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nothing much goes wrong, so quite cheap.

  • On the road

    Driving

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Harsh ride quality, very hard pedals.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    I expected a lot more. Nowhere near the class of a Celica and the brakes are the worst I've ever known.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bulletproof.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Looks dated, but can still turn heads.

    Comfort

    1 out of 5 1.0

    The seats are good, but the harsh ride spoils it all.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Non-existant. Check the locks have not been busted - it's just too easy to get in, just like the Golf.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Go for after-market spares - it's a lot cheaper.
