Volkswagen Scirocco test drive since 2008 hatchback

Forty meter with a cap

There was a completely forgotten VW Scirocco on the Russian market. In the third generation and in the classic design for such machines. In addition, all the newly emerging Volkswagen will look so now.
The company provided us with a car in Norway, in snow and frost, which in Russia by that time there were no longer. And so I wound the serpentines of the Norwegian fjords and catch myself that I become like Miki Hakkinen from a well -known commercial about Mercedes, which is no longer interested in anything except the driving process itself. Hakkapeliitta5 The only thing that connects a car with a slippery canvas, but how scirocco rides, as he writes! It is impossible to tear yourself away.
And what, in fact, do you want from the brand that first invented and built GTI cars? The new Scirocco and the steering wheel is hidden from the bottom. And the car itself, as expected, is forty meter in height. Having stopped a dozen minutes after the start, captured by the beauty of the Fjord, and jumping behind the wheel again, I caught me know and feel this car for a long time, as if it were owned by my possession for several years. Typically, sports cars require extensions. Here the contact was found right away.
The second distinguishing feature of Scirocco III: it is frankly more civilly than its goods in the park. There is no sensation of embrasures, like Opel Astra GTC, or a black closed space, like Audi TT. But there is a panoramic roof, 300 watts of acoustics, and the volume of the luggage compartment under a long roof in size up to 755 liters!

6- and 7-speed robotic boxes with double clutch are impressive with the clarity of gear, especially in manual mode

OPS informative and visual parking sensors: in handy in such a car

The civilian purpose of the car is evidenced by the large space for the legs of the rear passengers and all sorts of devices like a armrest or glass
And everything is not to the detriment of sports. Powerful, instant pickup is at almost all speeds and transmissions. And the roar is not forgotten. And Scirocco becomes angry-sounding when the leg is immediately on the floor. And even wags with impatience with the stern, striving to jump from the road. The base settings of the SCIROCCO suspension are made by analogy with the Golf GTI suspension recognized as a model of maneuverability. But the model has a noticeably wider track and the most modern engines using TSI technology.
Scirocco gusty wind that arises in the depths of the sugar. When it disperses, he literally tears a person to pieces. A cult car.
But there is only one harden: the salon of the first Scirocco was famous for the checkered Scottish woman who brought the girls who were in the madness of them. There is no new cells yet.
