1986 Volkswagen Scirocco review from North America
"If all cars ran like this, the world would be a better place"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The oil cooler leaked once. I needed to replace radiator as a result. Otherwise, interior parts fall off from time to time, but these are just cosmetic problems.
General comments?
It's a fabulous car! Years of driving with very little problems. It's not quick, but it starts day after day, doesn't need much work, and it's great on gas. I love my Scirocco. I purchased it for 500.00, have put about that much money into it over the past three years in work, and it takes me everywhere I want to go.
