Volkswagen Scirocco coupe 2014 review - Carbuyer 

bh25jay I had one of these and I got a 55” tv in it..in its box. That was ‘practical’ enough for me. You wouldn’t get a 55” tv in an AUDI TT

@@jonnyfez true

U can

“Not quite as practical as a hot hatch” is the most idiotic thing in a car review. Might as well say “can’t carry as many passengers as a double decker” it’s not a fucking hot hatch, Jesus car reviews are insufferably mishandled

+le Créatif If you want a practical "coupé" (the Scirocco is a three door, so strictly speaking a hatchback), get an Astra GTC. I'm 6'1" and easily fit in the back, the boot is bigger than that of the Mégane Coupé and the Scirocco, and it's remarkably practical for what it is. It's also a very good looking car. Where I live, Volkswagen is hideously expensive (for the price of a reasonably well equipped Scirocco you buy could a Mégane RS or an Astra OPC), and the Renault importer know less about customer service than they do about nuclear physics, so it was no contest. And you don't buy one of these for their practicality, you buy them because they make you feel good. But if it were purely about practicality, and not about price depreciation, build quality, running costs, etc, the Astra GTC is the winner between these three cars.

+Severity One The Astra GTA is indeed a beautiful, beautiful car. However I've got the Scirocco already and I'm really pleased with it. While I don't often have people in the back, I can say that it is reasonably comfortable for the average height person on the back seats. Honestly I think it has a really good balance sportivness, practicality and unique personality. In many ways, just like the Astra ;)

Scirocco it’s not a passengers car thou.

How your overall experience with those car? I want to buy it so much, is there problem showing up now?

how it's been living with it? still have it?

louis robinson how is it going?

robz1471 would highly recommend, for a small engine it's nippy as hell and feels ultra responsive so I can only imagine what the larger engines would feel like. Seats are really comfortable and secure you very well and the ride is very reasonable. Love the cabin and the turbo gauge along with the lap timers it feels so sporty. I'd recommend upgrading the alloys to lisbons as the standard iterlagos are pretty ugly in my opinion. Worth the extra money for the GT option as a lot Is added. View is slightly restrictive but you don't buy a coupe for its practicality! In saying that boot is very reasonable and rear seats fold down easily. Stunning car and gets a lot of eyes from passer bys. If you choose to purchase I'm sure you won't be disappointed :)

louis robinson OK, nice one

louis robinson how much was your insurance on it at 18 bro?

i'd take a wild guess at about £2400. Mine was £1800 for a 1.3 mazda 2 at the same age (1 year ago)

Yes

Yes

Ya I saw this because I love vs sriccco and not carwow do this vedio

He went from carbuyer over to carwow in 2015

Yeah he time travelled

Could always get one on a HP or PCP

@@LukeVexT im over it now lol, I now drive a 2016 insignia VXR Supersport AWD, with 400hp

@@joshuaminke6629 awesome 🙂 I got my Scirocco last month. Was originally looking for a vid to fix an issue and ended up here 😅

A scirocco R is you’re dream car? Surely you can aim a bit higher?

@@aquafresh3150 it was 3 years ago, when i had a part time minimum wage job, now that I make a decent living, my standards are higher

Sadly it wont be produced anymore.

mustsilm - have you seen our review of the Ford Tourneo Connect? A van with windows! www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/ford/tourneo-connect/mpv/video#video

Carbuyer hi, yes i have, hence why i asked, you have done pretty much all vw range vehicle reviews apart from the Caddy. While you have reviewed competitors like Berlingo and Tourneo.

MS well the caddy is much less important than berlingo and tourneo, hard to encounter any with windows, while the french vans are everywhere.

the comment he made, If the item you're lifting is heavy enough you can do your back in, Not everyone is young and strong hahah,

For reviews of the hot versions go to AutoExpress, this channel is more consumer oriented, they both belong to the same group but have different aims. Anyway one buys a scirocco over a leon or a golf because they like the looks better obviously or want a more coupé-ish car.

Yes that's true, but you don't always have data for new cars that you review, i suggest spritmonitor.de to see real consumptions

man0z wut? all cars say it in l/100 km, maybe not in england though, because empire, but im sure you can change it look in the car manual.

Maurazio True, but they could still calculate the mileage they got during the review process. Pretty sure they drive at least a couple hundred miles before making a judgement. And seeing as most cars these days consume somewhere between 25 to 50 percent more fuel in real world than on paper, it seems pretty pointless to quote the official figures.

man0z ah well you would have to put a sensor, there are those on the fuel trucks, i think it would be uselessly costly on cars though. I mean, the classic fuel level clock is enough imho.

I find if you knock 20% off the manufacturer figures then it works out pretty accurate.

Well in the Netherlands the road taxes of diesel are extremely high rip

That's a very common design in Abercombie & fitch as well as Hollister brands. May be you don't have these brands in Pakistan.

Did you buy it?

you gotta love his reviews

Forzaa your 16 now

@@hkgaming8792 you're

One of the best cars I've driven

Your 18 now lad what car you looking to buy

@@Reminders4ever what's the handling like?

Way too slow, and it fails in the rain and the price is a joke. A Honda S2000 pisses on a GT86 in every situation and it's less than half the price.

If you can't drive the GT86 quickly, you can't drive.

Robiul Ahmed I can drive, and if you push a Gt86 in the rain you'll be doing 360's. Face the facts, it has no power, a Fiesta ST would piss on it, and on the road a normal diesel ford focus can catch it out. For 2k you can get an MR2 which is quicker to 60 and has better dynamics. Face it the gt86 would have been slow in the 90's, now it's a joke.

bign3ck You'll only be doing 360's if you can't handle oversteer, which it seems you can't. There will always be the argument of "why buy a new this when you can buy a new that", but that really isn't the issue here. Your issue on the Fiesta and the Focus, is legitimate, though. Both of those cars are easier to drive and have comparable performance. However, the GT86, from its inception was always meant to be a base car. By that, I mean you can use it in its standard form, but it was designed to appeal to people who want to modify it, so if you want extra performance, the chassis and engine will be able to accommodate it. In fact, with some rudimentary modifications, it can keep pace with a mcLaren MP4-12C. To get the Fiesta or the diesel Focus to that same level of performance you need to spend big bucks. Yeah, sure, there is the argument that by doing this you void the warranty, but Cosworth do a service where you can keep the warranty. At the end of the day, the GT86, is a specialist, niche car. It's for someone who wants a rwd chassis (with the benefits that's go with that), with a normally aspirated, boxer engine, 4 seats (regardless of how occasionally they'll be used) and that slick coupe styling. It's also an ideal car for tuners. But for those people that just want a fast car, straight out of the box, it's not for them. They're better served with a fwd hot hatch. It comes down to Turbo FWD vs NA RWD. You either spend your money on a turbo unit or rwd. I'd rather go rwd.

Robiul Ahmed I do loads of track day with my modded EP3, i drove GT86 at Donington and it was wet. Driven at 10 tenths the GT86 oversteers violently and its skinny tyres cant hold or catch the oversteer meaning you'll just spin out. My mate took the piss also, then did the exact same thing on his turn, scratching his head wondering WTF as he spun out repeatedly . By the way i got no problem drifting an m3 with 450 bhp, gt86 is easy to drift slowly, try doing it at full pelt and feel the tyres fail.

Thanks

It's the R line spec version. Just looks like a r without the performance

she didn't die. search for her in the telegraph's channel.

***** I don't do massive miles but I do a few roadtripes a year. I own an Audi A3 2.0 tdi which I am super happy with but it is getting a bit old. Is there a huge difference compared with the 1.4 tsi and the 2.0 tsi?

yes
