1987 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V review from North America
"A must own for any performance nut"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission self-machined itself 1 week after ownership, resulting in a nice hole in the case. It had the typical grounding problem as well.
General comments?
GREAT CAR.
I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Let me put it like this, I also own a 2000 VW Jetta... I drive my Scirocco anytime we (the wife & I) have to go anywhere.
