Looks great, fun to drive, cheap to run.
Poor rear visibility, steering vagueness, cabin lacks exterior's flair.
Volkswagen succeeds in making a desirable coupe without compromises.
Not only is the Scirocco better to drive than a Golf GTI it's cheaper to run too.
The 197bhp 2.0 turbo petrol averages 37.2mpg emitting 179g/km of carbon dioxide. Both figures better the Golf meaning the VW coupe is a band lower for road tax (VED band E) and is a 23% tax liability - 2% lower than the hatch.
The 1.4 TSI and 2.0 TDI are even better. The 1.4 TSI averages 43.5mpg and emits 154g/km, while the 138bhp diesel averages 52.3mpg.
Insurance groups for the range are expected to mirror the Golf.
