1989 Volkswagen Scirocco Scala review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic, fast and still looks good!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing. Last MOT rather complicated though, no garage seemed to be able to obtain an exhaust manifold to connect the exhaust to the engine. Local garage had it for a couple of weeks and eventually solved the problem. MOT bill came to £250 - bargain, compared to the Citroen ZX I used to have! Apart from exhaust, nothing else was wrong.
General comments?
Bought this car for £900 whilst progressing an insurance claim for my previous car. It's been absolutely perfect and great fun to drive. Although it's the oldest car I've ever owned, it's been great and always starts first time! Having bought a newer car now, I can't bring myself to part with it, so I am keeping it for a rainy day in the garage. It's very fast and *surprisingly* economical too!
