College Car — My college car. Quick and well handling, got me more tickets than any other I've owned. Not the biggest car but hauled my stuff back and forth to school. Great looking design penned by Giugiaro that still looks good today. I'd buy one now to add to my garage for sure.

Pros: Design and performance

Cons: Tight backseat, twitchy electrical system

I Love My Rocco — There are VWs, then there are Sciroccos. Built for VW drivers that want a little more style in their ride without having to take out a second mortgage to do so. A used base Scirocco is cheap, usually found in the paper for about $1000 then the sky is the limit for the performance mods you can do

Pros: small engine great on gas

Cons: small engine, under perfromer, little leg room for back passengers

Great Version Of Vag's Early Water Cooled Technology — The one that started my VW passion. Engine swap gave decent power. I think this is the best of '80s coup styling.

Pros: Best interior/exterior styling for a coup for two decades.

Cons: The Scirocco never had enough power. VW finally came close introducing the 16V in '86.

Volkswagen Scirocco By Chris

Vw Sciroco Gtii By Tony2259

The mark II Scirocco is possibly the most under rated of all VWs. Picked up for less than the price of a night on the p1ss, the reliable old Rocco will, if looked after, run forever. This is certainl... Read More

Vw Scirocco By Lance

Performance - it's near enough a mk1 golf gti! Build quality - it's a german car, pretty much bulletproof, although it has needed repairs, it is a 20 year old car, but to be fair the car is still sol... Read More

Vw Scirocco Scala By Glen

Performance - This car is quick enough as standard, but after a few light mods it can be very quick off the mark. Handling as standard is fun, but ideally needs lowering on stiffer springs and a lower... Read More

I'm Incredibly Sorry I Sold It... By GermanCarFanMA

I wasn't in the market for a new car until early in 1989, and VW stopped importing them in late-1988. Locating one wasn't as easy as a Google search back then - I had a hell of a time finding a "flas... Read More
