For Excellent performance, affordable running costs and no real rivals at this price. GT spec with 18-inch alloys, automatic headlights and wipers, leather multifunction steering wheel and tinted windows.
Against There are very few flaws in this package, but the Scirocco's rear passenger space is cramped and the boot is much less practical than the Golf's. Discounts will be small and rare in dealerships.
This is one of our favourite Sciroccos, as it's the best driver's car and the most desirable model, yet it's still affordable to buy and run. An excellent combination of style, performance and practicality.
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.
