1983 Volkswagen Scirocco GT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. I've had a few things fixed, but nothing that stopped it from working. Oh, and plenty of tuning.
General comments?
Whee. Also Vroom and Mad Cackle. This car is serious fun. I've driven a lot of cars. None have been quite as uncomfortable as this (perhaps because I'm so tall?), but this car is seriously quick (I dread to think what the supercharged version is like!). It sounds wonderful when accelerating (a pleasing howl from the carbs), and also when engine braking (a fiery burbling crackle from the exhaust). Its faster than VW claim, a delight to handle and a delight to drive. But be warned. Make sure you get a good one (many have been boy racered), and you'll have to keep it well serviced and tuned in order to enjoy its speed. Oh, and for comforts sake you'll have to be a midget too. Serious fun.
