Volkswagen Scirocco Review

Safety and Security5 out of 5

Expect nothing less than a five star result in the Euro NCAP if the Scirocco is entered into the voluntary crash tests. Volkswagen certainly does, and since the current Golf delivers the maximum score for adult occupancy there's no doubt that the VW coupe will be just as safe, if not safer where child and pedestrian protection is concerned.

Standard safety includes six airbags and ESP on both standard and GT models.
