Verdict
So often manufacturers dig up names from the past to lend vital support to an underachieving new product. Not this time. The return of the Scirocco is a triumph, thanks to a car that’s probably even better now than was the original some 34 years ago.
It may seem like damning with faint praise, but the real hallmark of the Scirocco’s achievement is not so much what it does well but how little it does badly.
It is one of them most infuriatingly difficult cars to criticise we’ve encountered in years. It is astonishingly complete in almost all areas and, to cap it all, quite outstanding value for money.
So if you’ve been toying with the idea of a three-door Golf GTI and don’t really need the extra space in the back, get one these instead. You’ll never spend a better £90.
