I'm waiting on the delivery of my GT model, I went for this engine but with the DSG gearbox, this excellent review has made me feel like a child before Christmas!
Expected this to be in German but this is way more easy for me to understand! Too bad they don't sell the scirocco in The Netherlands anymore, I guess the sales where disappointing here too.
You did 0 - 100 km/h in 8,5 secs because you revved it to more than 5000 rpm, there is no point to rev diesel car so high, because it works different than a petrol engine! If you' d shift it at around 4300 rpm, you' d definitely get < 7,5 secs to 100 km/h. Otherwise great review as usual :)
as always, nice, calm review. but camera man need to compose a shot with depth of field in mind.. i'm sure he thought as much in editing. with today's High-res and large monitors, wrong focuses really have dizzying effect.
Worauf sollte man beim Kauf eines gebrauchten Sciroccos achten? hat er irgendwelche schwachstellen auf die manschauen sollte? Und ist er als erstauto geeignet?
Danne6und8zig Danke! Der GTC ist auch richtig schick geworden, finde ich auch. Welcher besser gefällt, ist Geschmackssache - ich finde den Scirocco z.B. vom Interieur her schöner
NIce Looking vehicle ,except the MMI system should of been updated with bigger screen similar to Passat .The iPod connection should of just gone with USB with 2.1 amp charging so would allow any phone iPhone or android .They might of looked at rear end also placing wiper up under spoiler for aerodynamics and cleaner look. Over all Nice vehicle ! Thanks Joe
TechExplorer Hey Joe, great to hear from you. Indeed the MMI is still on Golf VI basis as the whole car. That wont be changed anymore before the car will be made completely new or will disappear completely, I guess. Proper USB charging is often a problem in Audi and VW, I dunno why they dont offer a standard USB slot in every model.
***** I have a 2009 Scirocco with USB. You simply change the iPhone input for a usb one. Or you can get a multi plug lead which has them all including DIN. They can be purchased with the car from VW or after market.
Bojidar Martinov The issue is the rear which looks like a flattened Golf. By the time I had added all the things I wanted to it then I was only 3000 Euros off an Audi TT with all the trimmings, well, the Nav anyway.

Oh and during my test drive I noticed that instead of the iPhone connection it had a USB which is good.

Steve W Thank you very much! Yeah it's a pity it isnt.

How much is this ?? In euro pelease
Daren Enguito Hey Daren, in Germany the Scirocco starts at 23.900 Euro. What is your market?

Danke für den Test. Könntet ihr auch den Opel Astra GTC mal unter die Lupe nehmen?
Danke auch! Haben wir schon mal vor einer Weile gemacht, einen kurzen. Tipp mal in die TH-cam-Suche "astra gtc autogefuehl"
Ihr seid klasse. :D Ich finde den GTC ehrlich gesagt noch schicker als den Scirocco.

It's like with cosmetic surgery in general, face lifts aren't always an improvement.
looks really good. but its so loud
Meiner Meinung nach sieht Astra GTC/OPC viel, viel besser aus (besonders von hinten). Das Design ist fliessender.
2 problems
No USB....
Small and outdated screen.
Otherwise goid car!
Bojidar Martinov Yep, Volkswagen company usually fails to include easy USB access !
