1983 Volkswagen Scirocco GL review from UK and Ireland
"A wicked motor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water in the fuel tank.
Weak brakes.
Automatic choke on the carb not reliable.
Old boaty shock absorbers.
High insurance.
General comments?
Very good, surprisingly light car.
Very well built.
Very nice to drive.
Makes a nice noise.
Raw driving fun.
Surprises 'modern' cars away from the lights.
Good value for money, only problem - insurance...
Very cheap to buy a good one.
If respected - will go on to do well over 150,000 miles, Go and buy one, and see for yourselves.
