Still Sexy After 25 Years — Bought this used a couple of years ago, did some neglected maintenance and use it daily. Kinda gutless right now, I need to check to see if the timing is 180 degrees off. A/C lugs the car so bad at idle, it almost dies. Interior needs serious TLC. I agree with others that the electrical system is flaky on this car, but overall, it is a decent vehicle. I call it my Poor Man's Delorean.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Pros: Economical to drive, sporty design

Cons: Tough for big folks, no tilt wheel. Electrical issues

Gets Hot! — Love the car to bits, great handling, fast and comfy. Brakes are a bit shoddy. Has no squeaks/rattles. K-jetronic engine is ridiculously economic! A VW Scirocco (mk2 and mk1) are insanely fun to drive even as standard! I'd say get one and enjoy!

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Pros: Sticks to the road like glue.

Cons: A lot of maintenance if you buy a dodgy one.

Fun!!! — I owned the 16v, five speed model and it was a blast! The first of the 'fast and furious' little cars. It would put a lot of bigger cars to shame with it's performance!

Pros: Fast, light, comfortable, a lot of fun to drive.

Cons: Expensive to repair!!

Man This Was A Fun Car And Just Like A Go Cart. — I think this was my Mini Cooper, it was a ball to drive but the electrics sucked. Otherwise it was really solid.

Pros: Handled great, acceleration was decent and very easy to understand.

Cons: Electricals and crappy shifter.

Vw Sciroco Gtii By Tony2259
