1987 Volkswagen Scirocco Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This car has taken me 5 years to get to its current state ( still not finished ). It has been stripped down and rebuilt with a recond TES engine, comp spec 4-1 manifold, twin 40dhla's, mk2 golf 16v breaks front & rear, suspension tweeks, custom built exhaust, hand polished alloy wheels, and is due for a re-spray/interior re-trim in the near future. Hopefully it will be back on the road this year.May 03, 2009

its awesome for its year. just turn the wheel and it goes where i point it without hesitation. the lack of ABS and PS makes it a car you HAVE to drive or it will drive you (: the 1.8 8v inline 4 has only about 85-95 horses but its got some fun low end torque and weighs only about 2,000 pounds (: when you want a new engine, they can be found relatively cheap and they are all bullet proof (:Apr 17, 2009

My first new car. GTI performance in a better looking package. This car was extremely attractive but very utilitarian. You could pack an unbelievable amount into this car. Fuel mileage on the 1.8 litre motor was spectacular- often in excess of 40 mpg on the highway. The interior was a bit spartan - this was a low-end sports car, but was comfortable and functional. Handling was surprisingly stiff and performance of the engine and chassis showed off all the borrowed parts from the Porsche 924 prominently. I'd still be driving it if I hadn't sold it to go to school.Jan 25, 2009

hey hey, my 1987 volkswagen scirocco was one of the the most fun cars to drive, that ever owned. I had the 1.8 gtx model that came with all the gti interior, and also had the trip computer which also told me my mpg and ave speed. The engine was infact the gti engine that was used in the mk 1 golf (a legendary car), so the scirocco was not short of power at-all.The one and only problem i found with the car was that i found the head room was quite low, but this does not at-all lower my feelings for what i think is an under-rated, fantastic, good looking and fast 80s sports car.Sep 08, 2008
