1985 Volkswagen Scirocco review from North America
"I have gotten my moneys worth"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had electrical problems, I have went through several alternators and batteries.
I have had overheating problems, this is my third radiator and water pump.
I have went through three driver's seats.
General comments?
I still have the original transmission and engine. I drove the first 85,000 miles in Germany, which is where I bought the car.
The car still runs fine on the expressway and still gets about 28 miles per gallon.
The car still handles well and accelerates quickly.
