1984 Volkswagen Scirocco GL review from North America
"A car for the sporty person with a low budget"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car it had a cracked rear tail lens and the liner around the sun roof was starting to come undone. But that was quickly and easily replaced by some glue and a new tail lens which cost close to nothing.
General comments?
This is a very good car and is very cheap to repair, run and maintain. The seats are very comfortable and the stereo system that was factory installed works like a dream. It handles very well. It is the fastest you can go at 55 miles per hour (the top speed is NOT 55mph however).
