Expecting the Golf to outsell the Scirocco as its mass-production car, VW pushed the Scirocco ahead of the Golf’s release to ensure any manufacturing complications were sorted. … In the late ’80s, VW decided that the Scirocco would be no more, and discontinued it in favor of its successor, the Corrado.
The Scirocco gets universal praise for its prowess on the road, but this should come as no surprise as this car is based on the previous Golf a car with no handling issues whatsoever. It doesn’t quite go like one, though, offering a sportier driving experience to match the looks.
Maintaining a Scirocco will cost more than running an equivalent VW Golf, but this isn’t to say it’s expensive. … Expect servicing costs to be on a par with the Golf, though, and there are a number of plans available for newer cars.
155mph Performance is brisk on all Sciroccos, as even the 1.4 can do 0-62mph in 9.3 seconds, while at the other end of the scale the DSG-equipped R blasts to 62mph from rest in just 5.5 seconds and has to be electronically limited to a top speed of 155mph.
Volkswagen pulled the plug on the Scirocco in 2017, putting an end to another decade-long stint of the sporty hatchback after an initial hiatus that lasted from 1992 to 2008. Incredibly though, it looks like the Scirocco is not done yet and is set to make another appearance, most likely in 2022.
The Scirocco R is refreshingly old school in its approach to putting its power down. There’s no four-wheel drive system and no mechanical locking differential.

Found the Scirocco would only drive forward in soft snow. Reversing is a no-no (Even with brand new tyres and max tread depth) and you have to park so as you can go forward when moving off again. Or carry carpet tiles cut in half in the boot (or fit snow socks to the front wheels – VW sell them.).
every 12 months A Full Service, recommended every 12 months, or 12,000 miles if sooner, will subject your Scirocco to a rigorous inspection of its brakes, engine, air filters and area under the bonnet.

turbocharged stratified injection Drivers may be aware that their TSI engine is a gas Volkswagen engine, but they may not know how this engine offers advantages over other gas engines.

At speed, the Golf R and Scirocco R have that dependable, sturdy VW feel. They handle well, even when you push hard. Clearly the Golf R is faster, though, more powerful and more capable of putting that power down in a variety of conditions. It therefore wins another point.
