I drive a scirocco gt 2 since 2001 and it's still run, got 760000km and I love this car more than ever... Greetings from Germany

@VWLifeVW 3 года назад

post a picture of it on our facebook page - facebook.com/VWLifeVW/

@kevincarlson4562 2 года назад

I was fortunate enough to be "one of those guys".Perfect blend of Italian design and German solidity, for over 359 k miles.So reliable it was almost preternatural.

@d.r.jarrell7239 4 года назад

"It has a back seat!" I really thought Jake's next words were going to be "And I was conceived in one."

@VWLifeVW 4 года назад

we had to cut that part out :)

@jadetraveler 4 года назад

I always liked the Scirocco. I know someone who had a 1980 Scirocco, and another person who had a 1984 Scirocco (which I drove a couple times). I always thought it would be fun to have (or at least drive) one of these 16V Sciroccos. I had a 1993 Corrado VR6 for a short time, but I always have liked the Scirocco too.

@VWLifeVW 4 года назад

cool thanks for sharing, yeah they have a good design

@austinwissman5699 4 года назад

@brettv5724 4 года назад

Good video thanks for bringing up the Scirocco again! I've owned many of these. If you don't mind, here's a few additions and corrections. I do believe that 1974 was the first year of the Scirocco in the US. The reason Karmann was selected was that they were VW's manufacturer of choice for their lower volume specialty vehicles, so that VW didn't have to retool one of their high volume lines. Ie. Beetle Convertible, Ghia, Rabbit Convertible, Scirocco, Corrado. The last year of production for the Mk2 Scirocco was 1992 in Europe. In the USA, the last year for any titled Scirocco was 1989, but those were assembled 1988 models. Enjoy the car!

@VWLifeVW 4 года назад

awesome thanks Brett!

@alanszymczak6173 3 года назад

I purchased the first 16v Scirocco sold in North West Indiana from MVP VW Porsche, it was Tornado Red. The year was 1986. What a great car! I'm like Gary,i owned at least 25 VW's over the years. I still have my 1984 White GTI original paint with 150,00 miles. Also a 2017 VW GTI. Love the VW's! Great story Gary!

I had a 87 16v scirocco for 15 years and I kick myself anytime I think about it. I own a MK4 Jetta 1.8t and if I was you go with a MK4 1.8t I can’t imagine it! Nice cars you got I hate you lol! The sound of a 16v at 6k there’s nothing that can sound better.

@xrmerkur 4 года назад

I really enjoyed that video. brings back memories. My oldest brother owned more VW’s than I can count on my fingers. As a kid I went to the hobby store and Christmas shopping in a scirocco.

I've been mostly into aircooled....but I did have both an 8V and 16V Scirocco - really enjoyed them. Fun to drive and even back in the early 2000s when I had them they were pretty uncommon. Also really enjoyed my G60 Corrado too. Glad you got this one back on the road.

@gottasplit5707 4 года назад

Such a cool car! One thing I always think when I see 70s/80s VWs is how cool their wheels were. I love the wheels on the Scirocco at 1:50. Looks almost like a BMW.

Back in the 90s on my way to class in my mk1 GLI I remember several times being followed closely by a scirocco - probably heading to the very same class. Both cars made in Germany. Those were some quick drives to school. 😀

@chrisfreemesser5707 4 года назад

Always like the Scirocco but never had the chance to own one. I heard that Giugiaro (the first "G" is a soft G by the way) designed a Mk II but VW declined it and did the design for it in-house. Giugiaro's design eventually became the Isuzu Impulse.

The 82 Scirocco was stolen and recovered stripped. Stolen were the 90 Corrado wheels , battery, and the one power window regulator I had installed. Those wheels were the first 15s! Someone at Jim Ellis Atlanta VW bought a Corrado and had them swap out those for BBS wheels. I bought them from parts.

Love your show - happened across today and subscribed.....have been go thru all your past videos. Now I need a Bug or bus. QUESTION: why do some Bugs and Buses have only one yellow fog light in front?

@VWLifeVW 4 года назад

Very nice! welcome to the channel! not sure why it would only be one light? maybe it's just a personal preference? and it's easier to source only one

@jonathanwoods9843 3 года назад

The 1988 was the best Scirocco, IMHO. I worked at a VW dealer in 1987-88. The ‘88 felt more refined than the ‘87. A lot of the ‘87s had notchy shifters, but when the ‘88s came out, I noticed that the shifting felt just right. To this day, I don’t know what change VW made, but it was good. If I had my choice when running an errand for the dealership, I’d always choose the 1988 Scirocco and enjoy the heck out of it!

@Flies2FLL 3 года назад

I owed one of 52 VW Scirocco turbos. It had an IHI RHB5 turbo that made about 6 pounds of boost. It was a kit sold by the dealer that WAS covered by the factory warrantee and it turned the car into a 133 hp bottle rocket. The turbo was tiny and air cooled, and the car could dart to 60 mph in about 7 seconds. This thing could easily beat the shit out of a 16 valve car; It wasn't even close!

damn i’m glad you guys did this one I guess i’m one of those weird guys lol i too always liked the square i sh ones of course the 16 valve was legendary and in high school for me any Scirrocco was my dream car although i was more capable of buying a Rabbit more specifically a 81 2 door with a blown head gasket i put the head gasket on drove over 1000 local miles then decided to go on a 1300 mile trip in her and i spun the main bearings ? luckily i had a rope and a 12 pack in the trunk area and i got pulled to campground then home to fix the motor again i took the back seat out of that Rabbit and bought foam for it as a sleeping area ? unfortunately on that one the Bosch fuel injection i could not get working correctly and eventually all the steel brake lines just rusted out so i got rid of that one all together btw i did have a 75 Rabbit with the carburetor set up on it that was a good car except the interior was uncomfortable

I had an 88 16v. Loved that car. Learn to drive a standard on that car. Coldest a/c but the condensation drain would always get plugged up and would leak in the passenger floor. Ended up going around a corner to fast and broke the front axel. Traded it in to VW in San Antonio and bought a Mexican Jetta. Worst mistake.

That vibration under throttle sure sounds like the over axle exhaust bend making contact to me.

Forgot the best story on the 78 Scirocco. We were taking the interior out to redo it all. Found a Buttermilk container in the right rear pocket below that rear window down behind the panel. Someone had to have tossed it in there on the assembly line. German writing all over.
