VW Scirocco
Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2011 9:13 am
Hey guys. I need a break from studying for my exams and my parents just bought this new car and its a VW and thought that one or two of you might just be interested in hearing some things about it. Maybe some of you guys have one or have driven one.
Okay my parents are in the crop-science business and cant go driving around a top notch sports car because the farmers start thinking they are making to much money and stop buying chemicals from them. Well actual the depose not the farmers, so they were stuck with two "work vehicles" which are in the businesses name and the business is in my dads name and my mom is the accountant. Their problem was that they did not technically own a private car so my dad put my beetle in his name and what do you know they did a ordit and said that he needs to get a private car just as a warning because they don't believe that he drives a beetle around town for some strange reason.
So now we all go shopping for a new car we looked at the Audi A1 and the A3 but we did not really like the look of the A3. The A1 if you are sitting in the back seat you head cant even come close to the head rest because it is stuck against the roof
I was shocked that they could make such a stupid design error but it was not going to stop us from buying the car or anything but it did not in any way help us want to buy the car in any way. So we looked around for the rest of the day and eventually went back to the Audi center in PE and me been a huge VW fan had been begging to go look at the VW Scirocco so we walked across the road and look at the car. This was kind of as a joke and my parents said while we where walking there that whey would never be caught driving a VW around town.
Wow, was I impressed with its standard leather bucket seats just the around look of the car. Any way we were not aloud to test drive it as they did not have any demo models there as they are pretty rare and hard to find in SA. My parents eventual disided to go for the sporty VW instead of the Audi and arrived home with this new car a week ago. They had to choose between the 1.4L and the 2.0L but they knew they were going to go with the tiptronic gear box. So me wanting the bigger 2.0LTSI manged to influenced them enough to get it. Just so you know the specs it has a 2.0L petrol motor which puts out 155KW at 5300RPM and has a 0-100km/h in 6.9 seconds.
After begging and pleading I got to drive the car. I do have my learners so it was not e-legal. The drive was un-explainable I feel as if I'm am addicted to driving that thing. When you see it coming towards you, you know straight away that its a Scirocco and nothing else. VW has manged to build a car that is easy to drive, practical and it has as much classiness as a high class Audi. All this still with its completely different feel. If I were to give you a list of the things I would change about the whole car It would consist of this:
Move the inside door handles forwards and well that is the only thing I could find wrong with the whole car.
If any of you have something to say about it bad or good please tell me, I'm listening with all ears.
Cool well Iv got to get back to work. Cheers
This is the same as my parents, with the sun roof coming off the front windscreen

so I basically just cant fit, its too cramped inside, and the roof is so low my head sticks out the window - thats why I drive a high 4x4 and a high bus !
