Good Points

This car is a poor mans Ferrari.
Name another car you can buy for less than £1000 that gives the performance, reliability, handling, looks, and driver satisfaction of a "Rocco" ? - I bet you can't think of one !!


Bad Points

Not much room in the back for adult passengers.


General Comments

This is my second Volkswagen Scirocco GTX 1.8 and it's the one in the pic) - there first one was a "normal" 1600CL model and not that tidy, but it got me hooked. I bought this 3 years ago and have had to do very little to it, just routine service jobs really. They are a bit heavy on front pads but that could be the way I drive. They are very good on tyres as they are a light car. I fitted a Jetex exhaust system 18 months ago and I am very happy with that too.
I reckon I will be keeping this car as a cherished motor and it will be still on the road as a classic in many years to come.
