    My car

    I've owned 18 cars over the years and this one is in a class of its own. It has 210bhp which is not a massive amount of power, however I've driven stuff which has 240-260 and they just don't compare. The difference with the Scirocco is that every horsepower is transmitted to the tarmac, whereas something like the VXR Astra is a nightmare to keep on the road. Its a very safe car to drive and very simple to operate. The car is at its best on bends, hills and long straights (try north west Scotland). Motorway journeys are ok, but the car likes to be driven around more interesting routes. In the real world you'll struggle to find anything as engaging for the same money. I was really surprised just how fast it can shift from 0-100 (sorry 70) It returns 35mpg overall and 41 on motorway trips. I've had it 2 years and I'd have another one, no question, since nothing better has appeared since.

    My car

    Had the car two months and still look at it at every chance, I use any excuse to drive it. In short it's the best car I've ever owned, I fell in love with her straight away. I'm getting around 32mpg in mixed traffic, not too bad for a beast! I've never had a DSG before, they're great if you enjoy laid back motoring, not used my flappy paddles as yet! Traded in a Mini Cooper which I did like but it was a little stiff to drive, with my Scirocco I can choose to soften the ride if I like. The only drawback is getting it into the garage, I have to fold the wing mirror and breath in, which was a bit of a shock,as I've had an Audi A4 and a Toyata RAV4 in there with no problems....but what the hell it's worth it,
