1980 Volkswagen Scirocco Reviews, Pricing & Specs

what do I like and dislike about this car? it handle better then my other scirocco. Its faster. what I dislike is the paint (needs a paint job ASAP). it dose have rust but can be fixed or maybe rat it out (just a thought). The minor upgrades: old school e21 13" bbs wheel (off my old bmw 320i), projector headlights and high bean (off a bmw 745i), upper front strut stress bar. This car is going to be getting some more upgrades soon.Nov 19, 2014

This was my second brand new Volkswagon from the same dealer in Medicine Hat, Alberta. This car was more of a sports car, although the four cylinder engine would, today, be considered to be underpowered. It came with a five speed transmission (manual), front wheel drive and fuel injection. Lots of fun and handled very well. This car even came with an AM/FM radio and A/C, although power windows and door locks were not included. Great hatchback with lots of space to carry luggage - the back seat was a little tight, but for a single guy, this car had tons of room. Also very economical to drive.Apr 05, 2010

Nice little car; it was a weird rust/baby-poop colour which I probably wouldn't normally choose but it was my friend's car and it had been in his family since new when I bought it in 1988. About 6 months later I came around a slippery corner and did a Dukes of Hazzrd style plunge down a hill and smashed into a tree. Walked away from it (this is pre- airbags!) but the car was a write-off. (sorry Dave!) Damn that was a light back-end...I'd felt it kick out easily around corners a few times, but that wet curve was too much to handle. It was in superb shape when I bought it with nice leather trim and great seats, manual tranny and mag wheels. Mar 28, 2008
