1986 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V review from North America
"Long live the Type 53 and Type 53B!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch, steering rack, power steering pump, other maintenance/wear items.
General comments?
My favorite car of all time! The mighty Scirocco lives on with a small but ferociously loyal following around the world.
