VW Scirocco


Now this one here is a hot item, after 34 years VW finally introduce the new Volkswagen Scirocco. Basic concept is still the same as the first generation of scirocco, and a very basic of Volkswagen: Sports car that ideals for every day use, and -most importantly- affordable. Just like VW in the old days.
The design is about putting together spacious interior, and sporty look (and it's look georgeous!) add hi-tech gismo's, and cheap price. See where this is going? To be honest, I think this is the most handsome car a VW ever created.
It shares the same platform as the Golf GTi but, it is 40mm longer, 51mm wider, and 97mm lower. So it is lower and broader than the Golf. 4 adult can sit inside without cramping into each other. Power comes from a 2.0 Turbo which produce an impresive 197 bhp paired with 6 speed manual gearbox. 6 speed Dual Clutch DSG transmission comes as an optional. Next year the more economical version with 1.4 TSI engine and VW's new 2.0 diesel will be launch. the 1.4 TSI produce 158 bhp, while the 2.0 Diesel will produce 138 bhp.
Some say that the interior is too conservative for a futuristic look of Scirocco, but i'd say that the interior is enough. I dont really like the Air conditioning dials and the odd looking gear shift, but the rest is adequate. But, look at the triangular door handle and the handle near that ugly gear shift, is that looks cool or what?
Now, does this cheap VW comes with nothing? No. Absolutely not. This car comes with standard large vent sunroof, 17 inch wheels, height adjustable front seats, ESP, breaking assistants, and six airbags
