1989 Volkswagen Scirocco GT review from UK and Ireland
"The best fun for your money there is"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything that could wear out promptly did in the first six months, not a design fault - a previous owner fault!
Since then very little has needed doing until this year when the engine needed re-sealing.
General comments?
Fantastic fun on motorways and uphill.
Very useful acceleration in town.
You need a mechanic who understands this car.
A pain to insure.
A bone shaker on London roads.
Looks very cool.
