What does it cost?
For The VW Scirocco 2.0 TDI 140 Bluemotion Tech is a great option if you want economy and reasonable performance in a desirable car, while the standard spec will be easy to live with. Residuals should be excellent, too.
Against Good though the diesel engine is, it lacks the outright performance of the most desirable and powerful 2.0 TSI. Even the 1.4 TSI provides more oomph and better refinement for less.
What Car? says
The VW Scirocco 2.0 TDI 140 Bluemotion Tech is a great driver's car. The diesel engine doesn't really detract from the appeal, but it will appeal mainly to Mr Prudent. The 2.0 TSI GT remains our favourite, and the best option if you want a genuine performance coupe.

Our pick of the range
Volkswagen Scirocco Coupe 1.4 TSI 160 3dr
The VW Scirocco 1.4 TSI 160 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.
