Volkswagen is known for producing some incredible looking cars, but the Scirocco takes this to a whole other level. It’s supremely stylish and is best summed up as ‘wow’. But it’s also quite practical, an absolute treasure to drive and solidly built. There are few cars in its class that can match the Scirocco, and as an overall package it’s just jaw dropping to say the least.

While the Scirocco name has been around since 1974, it’s the new version released in 2008 that’s got everyone talking. Originally named after a Mediterranean wind that comes from the Sahara and reaches hurricane speeds, it’s easy to see why VW chose it. The Scirocco has always been quite a force of nature, but the latest models are even more epic. Huge levels of performance coupled with some impossibly pretty designs make it the kind of car anyone would be proud to own.

Yes the VW is sleek, aggressive and undeniably stylish on the outside, but the exterior is somewhat more refined. A lot of hard materials and dark colours make it quite an imposing place to be, but it’s supremely comfortable and has an excellent driving position to boot. A lot of equipment comes as standard, and is organised in a functional, easy to use manner that’s a hallmark of the brand.

Amazing at a standstill, the Scirocco is even better when on the move. With a fully adjustable chassis control, you can pump it up or tame it down to suit your mood or the type of road you’re on, which makes it ideal for country roads and motorways alike. Astronomical levels of grip are twinned with responsive handling and so much feel you’re practically stroking the tarmac with your fingers. The ride is comfortable and some relatively powerful engines give you a lot of performance to play with.

The VW Scirocco is actually very reasonably price to buy brand new, which is one of its wealth of plus points. But there’s always a better deal to be had if you go the pre owned route. Here at Motors.co.uk you can check out thousands of different used cars for sale, so coming across a bargain second hand Volkswagen Scirocco isn’t difficult at all. Paying less for such a incredible car is hugely exhilarating and the perfect example of value for money.

Clearly then, the Volkswagen Scirocco is one of the best looking coupes around, and never fails to impress with it’s excellent performance, decent practicality and bucket load of equipment. It’s simply a work of art and is the kind of car you find yourself staring at for quite a while. But get behind the wheel and you’ll find a poised and precise auto that wants to chew up as many miles as possible.
