VW Scirocco ? Any info ?

Well as most of you know im selling the e39.

I have approval from the financial advisor (Woman) to spend :D so I have been looking around and the only car thats really jumping out and ticking all the box's for me is the 09-10 VW Scirocco 2.0tdi

I took one for a test drive Tuesday and liked but it only it was the 1.4 twin charged one so the TDI will have more power. :cool:

Anyone have any experience with them ?

Basically im looking for something small enough but still practical if needed, stylish, still some power and CHEAP TAX.

GTI
Cooper S (you can pretend to be Mr Bartley :P)

So basically you're saying you want something slower, less fun to drive, less economical, and less well made?? :s

Scirocco - less common and i love the looks and interior

GTI - Higher tax but would go for a 05-06 if buying

Cooper S - Been there done that twice

These had crossed my mind but id be very fussy about it, would have to be sport, with leather, not Blue and diesel :blush:

Oh and my max budget is 18k

Edit: this colour

Was up close and personal with one recently and I left thinking its an awful yoke. 2.0tdi so plenty of poke but build quality not great, interior cramped and don't get me started on the doors.... The crappiest tinny sound when you close them. A square of dynamat wouldn't go amiss.

RE: VW Scirocco ? Any info ?

This is all very dependant on selling my own car so ill get back o you. Thanks.

I like the small cockpit, I like feeling cocooned on the car. Didn't really find anything wrong with the build quality personally, a lot better than any jap or French equivalents

Thought about buying one of these a couple of years ago. I love the styling but the interior was pretty cramped. I had another look at them last year but they seem to be only selling them with brain-damaged BlueMotion engines these days and 2.0 petrols are thin on ground.
Personally I'd import an R from the mainland.
