The Volkswagen Scirocco is a perennial favourite amongst drivers who demand the solid reliability and functionality of the Volkswagen Golf, but wrapped in something…well…a little easier on the eye. The VW Scirocco certainly ticks both these boxes.

Critically lauded by both critics and consumers, the Scirocco is now at a cross-roads in its lifespan. Do Volkswagen mess with a winning design to keep the range fresh, or do they keep things as they are and risk becoming stale down the line?

This sportier alternative to the Volkswagen Golf, provides you with all the features you may already be used to in a car, as well as some you may not be. Utilizing a 1.4 litre TSI 4 Cylinder engine, with the option of both a super charger or turbo charger, as well as a 2.0 litre FSI turbo charged 4 Cylinder engine, these cars can come with impressive horsepower and economy considering their design and purpose. These models come in both automatic as well as manual transmissions, with a special order option of a 6 speed gearbox. They can be special ordered with optional body kits, and firmer suspension systems if you go for the Scirocco R model which became available in 2012. Accessories include a panoramic sunroof, CD stereo with MP3 player, alloy rims in either 17 inch or 18 inch sizes, HID Headlights, front-side airbag system, climate control system, a keyless entry system, ABS braking, and many other power accessory features. Also available for the Scirocco is an optional three mode, adaptive chassis control system, giving the driver the choice of sport & comfort, which affects steering and suspension tune.
