What does it cost?
For This is a fine engine, refined and flexible with a progressive power delivery across the ful rev range. It also provides a fine blend of pace and economy.
Against You have to ask yourself if a diesel engine really suits a sports car like the Scirocco. The petrol engine, with its higher revs and more attractive exhaust note, seems to suit the car's character better.
What Car? says
Unless you really do the miles to make the improved fuel economy pay dividends, we can't see why you'd prefer this over the petrol car.

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