1987 Volkswagen Scirocco review from North America
"I will never sell this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace a few fuel injection sensors on the engine. This has been more precautionary than anything else (not trusting 18 year-old sensors). The exhaust has broken welds twice.
General comments?
Having always owned old Detroit muscle, I decided to give in to my fiance who is a Volkswagen "nut".
I have been pleasantly surprised with the performance.
Gas mileage ranges from 33 to 34 MPG in mixed driving. Not bad for a car of its age.
I always get a laugh out of parts store employees who have no idea what a Scirocco is.
