Volkswagen Scirocco Sport 2.0 TSI DSG Review: Green with envy

We've tested it in Portugal last year, but here on local roads, how will the Scirocco live up to expectations? Can it make hot-hatch fans ditch their cars for this svelte coupe? Read on to find out from this Oneshift.com exclusive...

What we like:
pros
Handles better than the Golf GTI
pros
a real eye-catcher
pros
a winning coupe from Volkswagen. They're on a roll
pros
aren't they?
What we dislike:
cons
Boring interior that doesn't compliment the exterior - seriously Volkswagen
cons
try something out of the box.

What more can I say? I like this car - and I reckon you should too. But I'd like it even better if there's more design effort given into its whole interior.

For now, if you love a coupe but at the same time, want hot-hatch like driving experience, you won't go wrong with this new Scirocco. Well you're technically right to call this a "Golf GTI in different clothing" - only difference is, the vast amount of improvements it's endowed with, making it a way better car.

So I saddled up this cool car for what will be the last ride. Again, down the ECP, then the AYE and the Normanton Park exit appears ahead. Bah, maybe I should just divert to the Tuas Checkpoint first, make a U-turn and then take the Alexandra Road exit before I return the Scirocco...
