Liam – you mean TT?

I would buy a Scirocco if I could. I’ve even contemlated importing one!
If VW Aus had a scirocco in their lineup, I’d buy it. Straight up. I’d probably prefer the normal one to the R (as crazy as that sounds).

Please VW stop teasing me! I just want one. In the words of Jeremy Clarkson: “Want one. Want one badly!”

I would have bought a Scirocco if I could. But I couldn’t so I got a Golf R with an Audi badge instead!

Highly tuned 4 cylinder over beautiful V6 growl?! No chance….I will stick with my R32, which returns 9.2 litres per 100km. Both new cars beautiful and Scirocco should get AWD but suppose weight is stopping that from happening. VW Australia has lost the plot not bringing the Scirocco to these shores….their loss and other brands will pick up the lost sales.

I agree the scirocco should have AWD, even if it up the price by a few thousand.

Your “partner”? As in business? Or defacto wife?
Either way there could be a lot of fighting over who gets to drive!

Yeah true the 5 door is alot more practical but for me if I was paying 65k for a Golf and don`t get me wrong I think VW`s are great cars, my Bora 4motion has been brilliant, but I`d be wanting something that looks sporty.

I’ve always felt the same way in regards to the 5 door.The 3 door has always looked sportier and it does take away some of that boxy look.
I suppose there are some people that simply like the convenience of a 5 door.

I reakon if VW engineers were allowed to make a RWD Scirocco with that tasty donk it would be a fiendish unit.
Then it would be a tough decision.
AWD Golf R weapon………….. OR
RWD Scirocco R rocket!
