For This is the best part of £1000 less than the next cheapest model in the range, and it has the cleanest petrol engine in the range. Equipment levels are good, too
Against You may think that this model is just a little too slow, and decide that going for the next model up (which is nearly two seconds faster to 60mph) is money well spent
We're yet to drive this version of the Scirocco, but as soon as we do, our verdict will appear here online
The Scirocco is a great purchase no matter what engine you opt for.
If you’re looking for performance, the 2.0 TSI has brilliant flexibility, ample grunt and very reasonable running costs.
Although the 1.4 TSI versions lack the outright pace of the bigger 2.0-litre model, they still offer the sharp handling and responsive dynamics that make the Scirocco a driver’s car.
The 2.0 TDI diesel engine is not what most would traditionally associate with a sports coupe, but (especially in Bluemotion form) it makes perfect sense if you want an affordable and comfortable cruiser that doesn’t sacrifice desirability and B-road ability.
The 2.0-litre models have the option of a six-speed semi-automatic DSG box in place of the standard six-speed manual, but it’ll set you back a four-figure sum and doesn’t add that much to the experience.
Resale values should be excellent and, although discounts are possible, don't expect them to be particularly huge.
