1983 Volkswagen Scirocco GTi review from UK and Ireland
"It goes like stink! But not much space in the back"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Big end bearings seized.
Head gasket.
Water pump.
Cramped back seats.
General comments?
If you want a GTI, make sure to get one in between a Y and B reg. These models have a DX engine with bigger injectors and a bigger cylinder bore than the other models.
Out performs other car in its class.
Seating position is low to the ground, giving you a sporty feel.
Handling is OK, but you will need to get a decent lowering kit.
