For Supercharged and turbocharged 1.4-litre engine has plenty of grunt as well as low running costs and an affordable list price. Kit includes auto headlights, 17-inch alloys, and adaptive chassis control.

Against The engine is good, but it lacks the real performance of the 2.0-litre engines. Residuals won't be as good as the diesels, and discounts are small.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

This is almost the cheapest Scirocco, but it's a great option – well specced and still offering the engaging dynamics that makes the car so good to drive. All it lacks is the outright pace and residuals of the bigger models.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

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.
