Summary:
I will never part with mine
Faults:
I've had problems with the ignition. When the car gets hot it tends to not turn over.
I've replaced the brakes, axles and exhaust, not because they were bad but because I wanted them upgraded.
I started to get a small rust spot under the front window seal.
General Comments:
The amount of engine noise that travels into the cabin is more then what I prefer. I used dynamat noise blocker on most of my panels to solve that problem.
I also wish it had more top end speed. The fastest I've been able to get is 96mph.
The car handles great. I installed neuspeed springs and sway bars so it turns on a dime.
I also like the fact that with the after market body kit on my car most people are quite surprised it's a Volkswagen. I love the lines on the mk1 Scirocco.
This is my 3rd one. I plan on keeping it for many years. The engine is strong and the whole car is in perfect mechanical shape. I am finding that it is becoming harder and harder to get parts for it and I almost never see these great cars on the road anymore.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
