Volkswagen Scirocco Car Review

The car is powered by a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine that produces 160 hp at 5,900 rpm, a power output exceeding that of larger engines. It generates 240 Nm of torque, and features supercharger technology alongside turbo technology. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8 seconds. It is mated to a front-wheel drive system and a 7-speed DSG transmission, which is smoother in response to shifts than other transmissions. The engine is considered fuel-efficient, consuming 6.3 liters per 100 km. The car's engine complies with Euro 5 emissions standards.

The car provides comfort for four passengers, two in the front and two in the back. It is 4.256 meters long, 1.810 meters wide, and 1.404 meters high. The car is comfortable in the cabin and provides spacious legroom. The rear seats can be folded down to increase the cargo capacity to 755 liters, and without folding it is 292 liters. Unlike sports cars, it is spacious, and its rear seats are wide and comfortable.

Of course, the problem with the car is the high prices of its spare parts, even though its spare parts are durable, but problems with the transmission, the need to change it, and its high price are a big problem with the car.

The car enjoys great stability, especially on sharp curves, and it is also able to withstand Egyptian roads, including their bumps, thanks to the suspension that adapts to each road condition and is suitable for sports cars. The suspension is controlled alongside the electronic driving system, and the suspension has 3 driving modes, ranging from normal, sport, and a third type that focuses on comfort. It is also higher than other sports cars in terms of ground clearance, which makes it able to handle Egyptian roads easily.

The Volkswagen Scirocco is not considered a sought-after car in the market, which is why the company stopped it in Egypt. Its presence in the used market is weak and it is difficult to resell it because it has a specific category, most of whom are young people who deal with a three-door hatchback coupe. In addition, the DSG transmission is controversial and keeps many away from it. In addition, there is a better market for the coupe in other cars such as BMW cars and some other popular coupe models. However, what distinguishes it from other models is the distinctive design that outperforms other sports cars.

The car received 5 stars in the European safety tests and is distinguished in the protection of adult passengers, children and pedestrians, and in the safety aids. It comes with 6 airbags, the ESP stability program, ABS brakes, TCS, DAS and EBD, in addition to its strong body that is able to absorb shocks, with xenon lights for clearer vision on the road, the installation of a child seat in the back, pre-tensioned seat belts, cutting off fuel to the engine in the event of accidents, automatic door opening and flashing lights.

It comes with an electric panoramic glass roof, an RCD510 audio system, dual-zone air conditioning, an electric driver's seat, sports seats, folding rear seats, leather upholstery, cruise control, electric mirrors with heating, a CD/MP3 radio, electric windows, power steering, central locking, light and rain sensors, an electric driver's seat, a multi-adjustable steering wheel, a leather handbrake, and 17-inch aluminum wheels.
