1987 Volkswagen Scirocco GTX review from UK and Ireland
"My favorite car to date and I have had a few"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator had to be replaced, original lasted well!
Electrical fault, lights went out without warning. Not good at night.
Oil pump warning, pump had stopped working again because of an electrical fault.
General comments?
With very few problems I can't fault the car.
The car is fairly fast and handles twisty roads extremely well.
There is a fair bit of noise, in comparison to modern cars, from the engine but not enough to feel uncomfortable.
The interior is dated, but with a bit of trademarked cleaners, it will look good.
Doesn't like rear passengers, unless they are vertically challenged!
Fuel economy (about 25 miles per gallon) is good.
