Frequently asked questions about Volkswagen Scirocco
Why was Scirocco discontinued?
The Scirocco was discontinued in Europe in 2017 due to steadily declining sales and because Volkswagen did not see it as a very profitable model, despite its charm and popularity amongst satisfied owners. There was no official successor to the Scirocco, but many claim that the Volkswagen T-Roc is an unofficial successor.
Is the Volkswagen Scirocco a good car?
Yes, the VW Scirocco has received glowing reviews and widespread praise for its beautiful, sporty appearance, snappy handling, superb build quality and refinement, and its practicality. All around, the Scirocco is a true joy to drive and it’s one of VW’s more fashionable models.
How long can a VW Scirocco last?
A VW Scirocco should last approximately 200,000 miles with good maintenance and servicing. The build quality of the Scirocco is excellent and its motor will not likely give you many major issues before that 200,000 mark, so it’s quite a reliable little sports car with longevity more or less in line with the Golf and Polo.
Is Scirocco same as Golf?
The Scirocco is not the same as the Golf, although both Volkswagen models share a lot in common. The biggest reason is that the Scirocco has always been designed using the Golf’s platform (varies by generation and model year), but aside from that, the Scirocco is much sportier and sacrifices boot space for aesthetics, whereas the Golf tends to have a more squared rear and sharper lines.
Are VW Sciroccos good on fuel?
The VW Scirocco is quite good on fuel economy. 2014 and 2015 Volkswagen Sciroccos are estimated to have a fuel economy of approximately 39.0 mpg and 41.3 mpg, respectively. This is significantly lower than the fuel economy reported by Top Gear, where the 2015 Scirocco with diesel powertrain was estimated to have 54.2/67.3 mpg (2.0L diesel/2.0 TDI). In brief, the Scirocco is quite competitive in terms of fuel economy.
